reflex arc

The path taken by the stimulus is called a reflex arc.

The nerve signals that control sneezing travel along a reflex arc.

The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc.

"Too sketchy, what I remember about the pupillary reflex arc.

Reflexes involve several physiological components that combine to form a reflex arc.

The simplest possible reflex arc is one consisting of two neurons, the sensory and the motor.

A complex reflex arc with numerous neurons taking part allows ample opportunity for branching.

Reflexes usually are mediated at the level of the spinal cord through reflex arcs.

This two-neuron reflex arc is rare, but examples of it exist even in so complicated a creature as man.

Escape reflex arcs have a high survival value, enabling organisms to take rapid action to avoid potential danger.

In a reflex arc, a series of physiological steps occur very rapidly to produce a reflex.

The somatic nervous system controls all voluntary muscular systems within the body, with the exception of reflex arcs.

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls an action reflex.

Even the three-neuron reflex arc is simple as far as such arcs go in highly organized creatures.

Because it is only a two-neuron reflex arc, it is a rapid reaction indeed.

The six-tonne organic beast was controlled completely by the reflex arcs that it had been born with some centuries earlier.

Rather, the stimulus travels to the spinal cord and the message is then transmitted back through the body, tracing a path called the reflex arc.

The nerve cell connections along which the nerve impulse travels from initial sensation to final response is the reflex arc.

The neurons involved in various reflex arcs normally receive a basal level of excitatory stimulation from the brain.

The patellar reflex is a clinical and classic example of the monosynaptic reflex arc.

A reflex arc is a neural circuit that creates a more or less automatic link between a sensory input and a specific motor output.

Since these afferent neurons are also part of a reflex arc, lordosis can also be triggered reflexively.

Prior to the work of Sherrington and Adrian, it was widely accepted that reflexes occurred as isolated activity within a reflex arc.

Some hyper-excitability of his nervous system is indicated, and his reflexes arc exaggerated, but his blood-pressure is normal.

The Golgi tendon reflex is a normal component of the reflex arc of the peripheral nervous system.
