Reflex

What is a Receptor?

• location of the stimulus at some site in the PNS

• A receptor is a type of hormone that regulates metabolism.
• A receptor is a cell that produces energy for the body.
• A receptor is a type of neurotransmitter that transmits signals.

What is a Sensory Neuron?

• A sensory neuron is responsible for hormone production.
• A sensory neuron transmits motor signals to muscles.
• A sensory neuron is a type of muscle cell.
• conducts impulse from receptor to the CNS (brain or spinal cord).

Integration Center

• Integration Center is a database management system.
• the brain or spinal cord where synapses occur with some interneurons.

• Integration Center is a software for graphic design.
• Integration Center is a tool for data visualization.

What is Motor Neuron

• Motor neurons transmit signals from muscles to the brain.
• Motor neurons conducts impulse from the integration center to the effector.

• Motor neurons are responsible for processing sensory information.
• Motor neurons are involved in the production of hormones.

What is the Effector?

• A muscle or gland that responds with a contraction or a secretion.

• A pathway that transmits information to the brain.
• A receptor that detects environmental changes.
• A type of signal that triggers a response.

A reflex arc represents what?

• A process of learning new skills.
• A type of muscle contraction.
• A method of communication between neurons.
• A neural pathway that controls a reflex action.

Skeletal muscles are involved in what reflex?

• Withdrawal reflex
• Somatic reflex

• Crossed extensor reflex
• Golgi tendon reflex

Somatic reflexes include what?

• Knee-jerk reflex, withdrawal reflexes, stretch reflex

• Gastrocolic reflex
• Blink reflex
• Pupillary reflex

Skeletal muscles function as "blank" for somatic reflexes?

• helper

• effectors

What is a stretch reflex?

• A stretch reflex is a voluntary action that requires conscious thought.
• A stretch reflex is a type of muscle injury caused by overstretching.
• A stretch reflex is a response that inhibits muscle contraction when stretched.
• A stretch reflex is an involuntary response that causes a muscle to contract when it is stretched.
