About this document

Understanding Reflex Physiology and Arcs by Baleli Zagala is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Reflexes are automatic responses to stimuli that involve pathways through the spinal cord or brainstem. The reflex arc consists of receptors, sensory and motor neurons, and effectors. Key reflexes include the stretch, withdrawal, and deep tendon reflexes, which maintain muscle tone, posture, and protect the body from harm.
