Reflexes

[qdeck]

[q]

stimulus define – [a] a change in the internal or external environment

[q]

receptor define – [a]this structure senses a change and creates a nerve impulse

[q]

sensory neuron define – [a] this structure carries impulse into the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord)

[q]

integration center define – [a] the area of brain or spinal cord where sensory and motor neurons communicate

[q]

motor neuron define – [a]this structure carries a nerve impulse out of the integration center to the effector

[q]

effector define – [a] this structure creates a response in a reflex

[q]

association neuron/interneuron define – [a] This neuron connects sensory and motor neurons together in the integration center

[q]

Where do Spinal Reflexes synapse? [a] in spinal cord matter

[q]

Where do Cranial Reflexes synapse? [a] in the brain nuclei

[q]

Somatic Reflexes use what kind of effector? [a] skeletal muscle

[q]

Autonomic Reflexes use what kind of effector? [a] cardiac, smooth muscle or glands

[q]

Proprioceptive Reflexes use what kind of receptor? [a] muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs

[q]

Withdrawal reflexes use what kind of receptor? [a] nociceptors

[q]

How many synapses does a Monosynaptic Reflex have? [a] only one synapse in the arc

[q]

How many synapses does a Polysynaptic Reflex have? [a]more than one synapse in the arc

[q]

How many segments does a Monosegmental Reflex use? [a] One

[q]

How many segments does a Polysegmental Reflex use? [a] more than one

[q]

Ipsilateral Reflex define – [a] the receptor and effector are on the same side of the body

[q]

Contralateral Reflex define – [a] the receptor is on one side and effectors are on both sides

[q]

Excitatory Reflex define – [a] causes excitation of the effector

[q]

Inhibitory Reflex define – [a] causes inhibition of the effector

[q]

Reciprocal Innervation define – [a] causes inhibition of an antagonist when the agonist is stimulated

[q]

Stretch Reflex define – [a] causes contraction when a muscle is stretched quickly

[q]

Golgi Tendon Reflex define – [a] causes a muscle to relax when a muscle or tendon is stretched for a while

[q]

Muscle Spindle – location [a] in the belly of the muscle

[q]

Muscle Approximation define – [a] a technique where the therapist pushes ends of muscle together to slacken it. Turns down spindles, decreases muscle tone.

[q]

Positional release define – [a]In this technique the therapist puts a muscle on slack by changing position of the joint. This is done to decrease muscle tension.

[q]

Golgi Tendon Organ – location [a] musculotendinous junction

[q]

Flexor/Withdraw Reflex descibe – [a]the limb is pulled away (withdrawn) from a painful stimulus due to activation of the flexor muscles.

[q]

Crossed Extensor Reflex describe – [a] a painful stimulus causes withdrawal reflex on the same side and extensor activation on the opposite side of body.

[q]

Nociceptors – function [a] These free nerve endings sense pain.
