∙ 15y agoVomiting reflex is mediated by the vomiting center in the brainstem, specifically the area postrema. This area receives input from various parts of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract and higher brain centers, to initiate the coordinated response of vomiting.
To remember the stages of a reflex arc in chemistry, you can use the acronym "SAID" which stands for stimulus, afferent pathway, integration center, and efferent pathway, and then the response. This mnemonic can help you recall the order of events in a reflex arc.
Chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the medulla of the brainstem, which communicates with the vomiting center (to mediate the vomiting reflex).
The control center of a reflex arc, typically located in the central nervous system, processes incoming sensory information and initiates a response to change body condition levels.

The primary reflex center for the body is the spinal cord. It coordinates reflex actions in response to stimuli without involving the brain, allowing for quick and automatic responses to potential threats or dangers.

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. It involves a sensory neuron that detects a stimulus, sends a signal to the spinal cord or brain, where it is processed, and then a motor neuron sends a signal back to muscles or glands to produce a response. This process allows for rapid, automatic responses to stimuli without conscious thought.
Five parts of a reflex arc are the receptor, sensory neuron (afferent), integration center, motor neuron (efferent), and effector.
Afferent pathway
No, the micturition reflex center is located in the sacral region of the spinal cord, specifically at the level of the S2 to S4 segments. This center regulates the process of urination, including the contraction of the bladder and relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter.
Vomiting reflex is mediated by the vomiting center in the brainstem, specifically the area postrema. This area receives input from various parts of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract and higher brain centers, to initiate the coordinated response of vomiting.
No, it has 2 visceral motor neurons. A visceral reflex has a receptor, a sensory neuron, a processing center, and 2 visceral motor neurons.
