30 Reflexes Rapid, automatic, involuntary reactions of muscles or glands to a stimulus All have similar properties stimulus required to initiate response rapid response requires that few neurons be involved preprogrammed response is the same way every time involuntary response requires no intent or pre-awareness

32 Reflex arc 1. Stimulus activates receptor

36 Monosynaptic Reflex Monosynaptic reflex is simplest
Direct communication between sensory and motor neuron (e.g., stretch reflex) Sensory (stretch) receptor Sensory neuron Spinal cord Monosynaptic reflex is simplest Sensory neuron synapses directly with motor neuron ex. knee-jerk reflex Effector organ Motor neuron

37 Stretch reflex Knee-jerk response is a stretch reflex
Fig  motor nerve endings to extrafusal muscle fibers Intrafusal muscle fiber Stretch reflex  motor nerve endings to muscle spindle Knee-jerk response is a stretch reflex Spindles in skeletal muscles monitor stretch Response to stretch is to contract muscle When patellar ligament is struck, quadriceps femoris lengthens quickly, causing reflexive contraction; foot kicks out Muscle spindle Sensory nerve endings

38 Polysynaptic Reflex Interneuron facilitates sensory-motor communication (e.g., withdrawal reflex) Sensory receptor Sensory neuron Spinal cord Polysynaptic reflexes include more neurons, more complex path ex. pulling back from hot stove ex. crossed-extensor reflex: supports postural muscles when you pull your foot back after stepping on a pin Interneuron Effector organ Motor neuron
