Summary Introduction
To review:
The three examples of controlled conditions in the body, which keeps autonomic reflexes in homeostatic balance.
Introduction:
The autonomic reflexes are the responses, which occur when a nerve impulse passes through a visceral or autonomic reflex arc. The autonomic or visceral reflexes are vital in regulating the controlled conditions of the body.

What is the basic difference between a local homeostatic response and a reflex?
Describe the structure and function of a simple reflex arc in humans. Include a description of the types of neurons and a discussion of the mechanism of the transmission of a nerve impulse.
The Baroreceptor reflex illustrates very well the principles and elements of a negative feedback loop.1) What is the typical circumstance in which the baroreceptor reflex is stimulated? What is the stimulus for the reflex and the response?2a) Using the terms for a homeostatic negative feedback loop or a reflex, describe both the function AND anatomical elements serving that function for each of the following as it applies to the baroreceptor reflex known as: an effector.
2b) applied to the baroreceptor reflex known as: the integration center?
