Textbook QuestionThe following are the steps involved in a neural reflex. 1. activation of a sensory neuron 2. activation of a motor neuron 3. response by an effector 4. arrival of a stimulus and activation of a receptor 5. information processing The proper sequence of these steps is (a) 1, 3, 4, 5, 2. (b) 4, 5, 3, 1, 2. (c) 4, 1, 5, 2, 3. (d) 4, 3, 1, 5, 2. (e) 3, 1, 4, 5, 2.155views
Textbook QuestionThe reflexes that control the most rapid, stereotyped motor responses to stimuli are (a) monosynaptic reflexes, (b) polysynaptic reflexes, (c) tendon reflexes, (d) extensor reflexes.156views
Textbook QuestionThe contraction of flexor muscles and the relaxation of extensor muscles illustrate the principle of (a) reverberating circuitry, (b) generalized facilitation, (c) reciprocal inhibition, (d) reinforcement.169views
Textbook QuestionPolysynaptic reflexes can produce far more complicated responses than can monosynaptic reflexes because (a) the response time is quicker, (b) the response is initiated by highly sensitive receptors, (c) motor neurons carry impulses at a faster rate than do sensory neurons, (d) the interneurons involved can control several muscle groups.269views
Textbook QuestionBowel and urinary bladder control involve spinal reflex arcs that are located in the sacral region of the spinal cord. In both instances, two sphincter muscles—an inner sphincter of smooth muscle and an outer sphincter of skeletal muscle—control the passage of wastes (feces and urine) out of the body. How would a transection of the spinal cord at the L1 segment level affect an individual's bowel and bladder control?153views
Textbook QuestionWhat is the structural and functional relationship between spinal nerves, skeletal muscles, and dermatomes?209views
