Reflex Arcs Nervous System

Reacting to Changes You need to keep the conditions inside your body constant. Doing this is called homeostasis. Small changes inside your body can cause its cells to be damaged or destroyed. Yet, there are big changes going on outside your body. You need to detect a change in the environment (a stimulus) and react to the change (a response) in a way that maintains homeostasis. When you do this without thinking, it is called a reflex.

Revisiting the Knee-Jerk Response What is the stimulus ? The hammer hits the tendon What is the response ? The muscle contracts, causing the foot to jerk upward.

Other Reflexes StimulusResponse The aroma of your favorite food Salivation A nasty odorNausea A bright light shining in your eye Pupils get smaller An insect flying towards your eye Blinking

How is the Hammer Tap Detected? The muscles in your leg have stretch receptors. They react to a change in length of the muscle. When the hammer hits the tendon at the knee, it makes a muscle in the front of your thigh longer (stretches it). That stimulates the stretch receptors in that muscle.

The Knee-Jerk Response When the stretch receptors are stimulated, they send a message to the muscles of your thigh. The muscles in the front of your thigh contract. The muscles in the back of your thigh relax. Your foot jerks

How the Message Travels From the Receptor to the Effector. Nerve cells (neurons) carry the message from the stimulated receptors to the correct effectors. A sensory neuron carries the message from the receptor to the central nervous system (the spinal cord and brain). A motor neuron carries the message from the central nervous system to the effector. This is a reflex arc.
