Summary Introduction

To determine:  The terms short reflex and long reflex, and the response regulated by the short reflex.

Introduction: A reflex is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. It occurs through a neural pathway that is called the reflex arc.

Summary Introduction

To determine:  The response regulated by the short reflex.

Introduction: The reflex arc acts on the impulses before an impulse reaches the brain.

A reflex is defined as the response of the body to the stimulus. It occurs through a neural pathway that is called the reflex arc.

Summary Introduction

To determine:  The terms long reflex.

Introduction: the reflexes are categorized in two type, somatic reflexes and visceral reflexes. Somatic reflexes involves sensory neurons whereas, visceral neurons involve craniosacral system.
