Examples are the patellar (knee jerk) reflex. Multisynaptic reflexes - Involves multiple neurons and segments of the central nervous system. Examples are the flexor (withdrawal) reflex. Common Reflex Types Reflexes can be classified in various types. Stretch reflex - Monosynaptic, contracts a muscle...
Provide an example of a sensory reflex mediated by the midbrain. Which class of sensory receptors exclusively responds to physical or chemical damage to tissue? a. Photoreceptors b. Mechanoreceptors c. Proprioceptors d. Nociceptors e. Thermoreceptors What type of receptor is used in synaptic sign...
What are the functions of muscle spindles in oculomotor muscles if these muscles do not demonstrate stretch reflex? Which extraocular muscles intort the eye? What component of the nervous system regulates voluntary muscle responses to external stimuli? What muscles are weak in kyphosis? What do nerv...
In particular, it is important to appreciate that AVP functions in the defense of circulatory integrity, inducing vasoconstriction, increasing sympathetic nervous system tone, increasing renal retention of both water and Na+-Cl–, and modulating the arterial baroreceptor reflex. Most of these responses...
Mechanoreception, ability of an animal to detect and respond to certain kinds of stimuli—notably touch, sound, and changes in pressure or posture—in its environment. Sensitivity to mechanical stimuli is a common endowment among animals. In addition to
A protractor is a measuring tool often made of translucent plastic or glass used to read, measure, and construct angles. Click for more.
