|
Autonomic Reflexes |
Mediated through the autonomic nervous system
|
|
|
|
Somatic Reflexes
|
Include all reflexes that involve stimulation of the skeletal muscles by the somatic division of the nervous system
|
|
|
|
The receptor
|
site of stimulus action
|
|
|
|
The sensory neuron
|
transmits neurological impulses to the CNS
|
|
|
|
The integration center
|
consists of one or more neurons in the CNS
|
|
|
|
The motor neuron
|
conducts deviating impulses from the integration center to an effector organ
|
|
|
|
The effector
|
muscle fibers or glands; it responds to deviating impulses characteristically
|
|
|
|
