Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 14 Human Reflex Physiology

  2. An introduction to reflexes • Reflexes are rapid and predictable automatic responses to stimuli • Neural reflex involves sensory fibers to CNS and motor fibers to effectors

  3. Reflex arc • Five components • Receptor– it is the site of the stimulus • Sensory neuron– transmits the stimulus • Integration Center • Monosynaptic reflex • Polysynaptic reflex • Motor neuron- conducts the impulse tothe effector • Effector– muscle or gland

  4. Arc Reflex Components

  5. Reflex classification • Somatic Reflexes • Patellar reflex (knee-jerk) • Achilles reflex • Withdrawal reflex • Crossed extensor reflex • Extension of the opposing limb

  6. Reflex classification • Superficial cord reflex • Plantar reflex • Normal response – curling the toe • Abnormal response – Babisnki’s sign

  7. The Babinski Reflexes

  8. Reflex classification • Corneal reflex - Cranial nerve V • Gag reflex • Cranial nerves IX and X

  9. Reflex classification • Autonomic Reflexes • Pupillary reflex • Ipsilateral constriction of the pupil • Consensual reflex • Contralateral constriction of the pupil • Ciliospinal reflex • Pupil dilation when pinching the neck • Salivary reflex
