Question
Chapter 13, Problem 8RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The number of synapses that occur in the simplest autonomic reflex.
Introduction: The reflex is an instant and involuntary movement of a body part that occurs in response to the stimulus. There are various types of reflexes. Simplex reflex is the most basic type of reflex.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The place where the synapses in the simplest autonomic reflex occur.
Introduction: A reflex action is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. A reflex occurs through a neural pathway called the reflex arc. The reflex arc acts on the impulses before an impulse reaches the brain.
