Spinal Cord Reflexes

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Dorsal and ventral roots join to form a mixed nerve that carries both afferent and efferent nerves   Spinal Nerve  
🗑
functional groups of neuron (interneurons), limited input and output destinations, may stimulate/depress part of the brain and spinal cord   Neuronal Pool  
🗑
Spreads stimulation to many neurons/neuronal pools in CNS (Vision---conscious I see, unconscious posture and balance)   Divergence  
🗑
Brings many input sources into a single neuron (Breathing)   Convergence  
🗑
Moves information in a single line (pain)   Serial Processing  
🗑
moves info along several paths simultaneously (pain, withdraw, cuss)   Parallel Processing  
🗑
automatic responses coordinated within the spinal cord, through sensory, motor and interneurons   Reflex  
🗑
sensory neurons synapse directly on motor neurons, rare (stretch reflex)Complexity of circuit   Monosynaptic Reflex Arc  
🗑
at least one interneuron is between sensory and motor neuron, (tendon reflex, withdraw reflex)Complexity of Circuit   Polysynaptic Reflex Arc  
🗑
genetically determined Developemental Reflex   Innate Reflexes  
🗑
Learned Developemental Reflex   Acquired Reflexes  
🗑
Control Skeletal Muscle contractions, Includes superficial and stretch reflexes Response Reflex   Somatic reflexes  
🗑
Controls actions of smooth muscle, glands,cardiac muscle and adipose tissue, Response Reflex   Visceral (Autonomic) Reflexes  
🗑
Processed in the Spine   Spinal Reflexes  
🗑
Processed in the brain   Crainial Reflexes  
🗑
Occur on the same side of the body as the stimulus, stretch, tendon, withdraw reflex   Ipsilateral Reflex arcs  
🗑
Occur on the opposite side of the stimulus, occur simultaneously with flexor reflex by reverberating circuits until consciously overridden   Contralateral Reflex arcs  
🗑
monosynaptic reflex in which muscle spindles are the receptors, that have the least delay in sensory and motor output (patellar reflex)   Stretch Reflex  
🗑
bags of fibers, innervated by sensory/motor neurons   Intrafusal Fibers  
🗑
Maintain tone, contract muscle   Extrafusal Fibers  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
