spinal cord, spinal nerves, and spinal reflexes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Reflex in which the sensory stimulus and motor response occur on the same side of the body | ipsilateral reflex |
| Withdrawal reflex that affects the muscles of a limb | flexor reflex |
| Reflex that moves affected parts of the body away from a stimulus | withdrawal reflex |
| Reflex that provides automatic regulation of skeletal muscle length | stretch reflex |
| Reflex in which major information processing occurs in spinal cord | spinal reflex |
| Type of neural circuit in which multiple neurons synapse on a single postsynaptic neuron | convergence |
| Process involved in preventing opposing muscles from contracting during a reflex | reciprocal inhibition |
| Type of neural circuit in which information is relayed stepwise from one neuron to the next | serial processing |
| The enhancement of reflexes due to facilitation of motor neurons | reinforcement |
| Reflex that affects skeletal muscle | somatic reflex |
| Type of neural circuit in which information spreads from one neuron to multiple postsynaptic neurons | divergence |
| Type of neural circuit in which collateral branches of axons carry information backwards into presynaptic neurons | reverbration |
| Reflex in which the sensory stimulus and motor response occur on opposite sides of the body | contralateral reflex |
| Reflex that causes the reflexive extension of a limb to maintain balance during the withdrawal reflex of an opposite side limb | crossed extensor reflex |
| Reflex caused by stimulation of skin or superficial tissues | superficial reflex |
| Type of neural circuit in which multiple neurons process the same information simultaneously | parallel processing |
| Reflex in which major information processing occurs in brain | cranial reflex |
| Type of reflex enhanced by repetition | acquired reflex |
| Controls the sensitivity of a muscle spindle by altering tension in the intrafusal fibers | gamma motor neuron |
| Autonomic reflex that adjusts smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, glands, and adipose tissue | visceral reflex |
