A
stereotyped
involuntary
rapid
2
Q
What are the three general functions of reflexes?
A
protective
postural
homeostasis
3
Q
What are the 5 neural components of a reflex?
A
receptor afferents CNS efferents effector
4
Q
What is involved in a myotatic reflex?
A
muscle spindle afferent N-Ns synapse in CNS (excitatory NT) efferent muscle contracts
5
Q
What is invloved in a reverse myotatic reflex?
What is it’s functions?
A
golgi tendon organ afferent interneurone in CNS excitatory NT then inhibitory NT efferent muscle relaxes Opposite response to muscle spindle, release mechanism, prevents tension ripping off bone
6
Q
What is involved in the crossed extensor reflex?
What is it’s function?
A
both inhibition and excitation, also neurone up to brain
lifts one leg up, shifts weight onto other leg
