reflexes

Question 1

automatic response coordinated within spinal cord

Answer 1

reflexes

Question 2

basic neural reflexes, formed at birth

Answer 2

innate reflexes

Question 3

rapid, automatic, learned motor patterns

Answer 3

acquired reflexed

Question 4

Involuntary control of nervous system, superficial reflexes of skin, mucous membranes, stretch or deep tendon reflexes

Answer 4

somatic reflexes

Question 5

control systems other than muscular system

Answer 5

visceral reflexes

Question 6

sensory neuron synapses directly onto motor neuron (prevents skeletal muscle from developing too much tension - avoid tendon tears)

Answer 6

monosynaptic reflexes

Question 7

at least one interneuron between sensory neuron and motor neuron

Answer 7

polysynaptic reflex

Question 8

many segments interact, produces a contra-lateral reflex, flexors and extensors inhibited ot stimulated simultaneously

Answer 8

intersegmental reflex arc

Question 9

occur in spinal cord, tend to be postural or involved in maintaining balance/equilibrium

Answer 9

spinal reflexes

Question 10

occur in brain, afferent input enters the brain via cranial nerves and influences motor neurons, and the efferent outflow exits the brain on the same or another cranial nerve

Answer 10

cranial reflexes
