Teasdall, MD* Multiple stretch reflexes occur in muscles adjacent to or remote from the tap. The response may be ipsilateral or bilateral. These reflexes are encountered not only in normal subjects with brisk stretch reflexes but particularly in patients with lesions of the upper motor neuron. The concussion obtained by the blow is conducted along bone to muscle. Muscle spindles are stimulated, and in this manner independent stretch reflexes are produced in these muscles. This mechanism is responsible for the phenomenon of multiple stretch reflexes. The thorax and pelvis play important roles in the contralateral responses by transmitting these mechanical events across the midline.

Appreciate the two-way traffic along the spinal cord . Describe some characteristics of spinal neuronal circuits . Classify reflexes and appreciate their clinical importance . Describe neuronal mechanisms of the 10withdrawal/6/2016 reflex & crossed extensor reflex3 The Spinal Cord (SC) . It is about 45 cm long and 2 cm in diameter 8 Cervical . It is composed of about 100 million neurons and even more neuroglia 12 Thoracic . It is continuous with the brain and together they make up the Lumbar CNS 5 Sacral 5 . 31 pairs of spinal nerves are connected to it 1 10/6/2016 Coccygeal 4 The Spinal Nerves . Each spinal nerve has a ventral root and a dorsal root . The dorsal (posterior) root contains afferent (sensory) nerve fibers, and their cell bodies are located in dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The ventral (anterior) root carries efferent (motor) fibers, and their cells bodies are located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. Afferent fiber Efferent fiber (DRG) Each DRG has 1000s of cell bodies Spinal Cord Organization: 1. The Grey Matter .

    Reflex Physiology Dr. Ali Ebneshahidi © 2009 Ebneshahidi Reflex Physiology . Reflexes are automatic, subconscious response to changes within or outside the body. a. Reflexes maintain homeostasis (autonomic reflexes) – heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and digestion. b. Reflexes also carry out the automatic action of swallowing, sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. c. Reflexes maintain balance & posture. ex. Spinal reflexes – control trunk and limb muscles. d. Brain reflexes – involve reflex center in brain stem. ex. Reflexes for eye movement. © 2009 Ebneshahidi Reflex Arc The reflex arc governs the operation of reflexes. Nerve impulses follow nerve pathways as they travel through the nervous system. The simplest of these pathways, including a few neurons, constitutes a reflex arc. Reflexes whose arc pass through the spinal cord are called spinal reflexes. © 2009 Ebneshahidi Parts of Reflex Arc . 1. Receptor – detects the stimulus. a) Description: the receptor end of a particular dendrite or a specialized receptor cell in a sensory organ. b) function: sensitive to a specific type of internal or external change. 2. sensory neuron – conveys the sensory info. to brain or spinal cord. a. Description: Dendrite, cell body, and axon of a sensory neuron. b. Function: transmit nerve impulses from the receptor into the brain or spinal cord. © 2009 Ebneshahidi Reflex Arc . 3. Interneuron: relay neurons. a. Description: dendrite, cell body, and axon of a neuron within the brain or spinal cord. b. function: serves as processing center, conducts nerve impulses from the sensory neuron to a motor neuron. 4. Motor neuron: conduct motor output to the periphery. a. Description: Dendrite, cell body, and axon of a motor neuron.

    Contents List ...where molecules become real TM euron Modeling Kit© Modeling Reflex Arcs Student Handout II “Take a walk” through the nervous system by completing the Simplified Overview of the Nervous System graphic organizer (page 5). Use this as a road map to the major divisions of the nervous system. A reflex arc is a simple signal conduction pathway to and from the central nervous system (CNS). The most common form of reflex arc consists of anafferent neuron, an interneuron and an efferent neuron. Signals from afferent, or sensory, neurons approach the central nervous system. Efferent, or motor, neurons exit the CNS and conduct signals to effectors. Effectors may be muscle or glandular tissue. Interneurons, found exclusively in the CNS, conduct signals from afferent neurons toward efferent neurons. All reflex arcs have five essential components: 1. The site of the stimulus action is called the receptor. 2. The afferent or sensory neuron transmits afferent impulses to the CNS. 3. The integration center is located within the CNS where information is processed. 4. The efferent or motor neuron conducts efferent impulses from the integration center to the appropriate effectors. 5. The effector is the muscle or glandular tissue that response to the efferent impulse. Case 1. The Withdrawal Reflex The withdrawal or flexor reflex is a rapid, predictable motor response to a painful stimulus that causes an automatic withdrawal of the threatened body part from the stimulus. Imagine that you reach into a desk drawer to retrieve a writing utensil to jot down some notes about the amazing lesson your teacher is presenting on reflexes.
