74
Q

What is a visceral (autonomic) reflex?

A

Controls actions of smooth muscle, glands, and adipose tissue.

75
Q

What is a somatic reflex?

A

control skeletal muscle contractions (include superficial stretch reflexes)

76
Q

What is a spinal reflex?

A

important interconnections and processing events occur in spinal cord.

77

78
Q

Describe monosynaptic reflexes

A

(fast) simplest reflex arc, sensory neuron synapses directly on a neuron.

79
Q

Describe reflexes

A

Complexed with 1 or more interneuron between sensory and motor neurons. Interneurons involved can control several muscle groups and produce either excitatory or inhibitory polysynaptic potentials.

80
Q

Describe a stretch reflex

A

(posture) stretching of a muscle activates a muscle spindle. Impulse transmitted by afferent fibers to spinal cord. Motor neurons in spinal cord cause stretched muscle to contract. Integration center causes antagonist muscle to relax (reciprocal inhibition).

Monosynaptic reflex: decreased reflexes should lead to suspicion that reflex arc has been affected. possible sensory nerve fiber or spinal cord gray matter (motor fibers), LMN lesions.

81
Q

What is a muscle spindle?

A

bundle of specialized skeletal muscle fibers that act as sensory receptors.

82
Q

(monosynaptic)
A

test spinal nerves L2, L3, L4

84
Q

Biceps jerk

A

Test spinal nerves C5 and C6

85
Q

What conditions would diminish reflexes?

A

Hyporeflexia

86
Q

What conditions would cause increased reflexes?

A

Hyperreflexia

87
Q

What is a tendon reflex?

A

causes muscle to relax

-monitors external tension produced during muscular contraction, prevents tearing or breaking if tendons.

88
Q

Is the tendon reflex monosynaptic or polysynaptic?

A

Polysynaptic

89
Q

What is a Golgi tendon organ?

A

stretch receptor in tenon

90
Q

Describe a withdrawal reflex?

A

flexor reflex- pain receptors activated causing automatic withdrawal of threatened body part.

91
Q

What is reciprocal inhibition?

A

Interneurons in spinal cord prevent stretch reflex in antagonistic muscles.

92
Q

Describe the crossed extensor reflex (ipsilateral and contralateral)

A

Complex reflex- maintains upright position if pain is generated in lower extremity. Pull foot back, the other leg responds to hold you upright. (step on glass)
