ciliospinal reflex                                                                                                      

salivary reflex                                                                                                         

swallowing reflex                                                                                                    

palatal reflex                                                                                                           

What is the function of adaptive advantage of each of the reflexes listed below?

patellar reflex                                                                                                          

pupillary reflex                                                                                                       

salivary reflex                                                                                                        

Give one example of an ipsilateral response and one example of a contralateral response.

a) What type of innervation of the smooth muscles of the eye causes constriction of the iris?      

b) What type of innervation of the iris causes dilation?                                                   

List some conditioned reflexes you have experienced. Have you ever had the experience of becoming deconditioned (learning not to respond to a stimulus that used to elicit a response from you)? (Do you salivate at the sight of a steak? Have you ever worked at a cafeteria?)

6.              Discuss the relationship between reflexes and homeostasis.

Explanation / Answer

Answers:

Adaptive advantages of:

The importance of a few reflexes are listed below.

1) Patellar reflex: It allows for the contraction of the muscles of the thigh, the quadriceps femoris contracts so that a person does not collapse or fall down during the act of getting up on his feet.

2) Pupillary reflex: It is a very important reflex that helps regulate the amount of light entering through the pupils: In bright light, the pupil is constricted so that less light enters and during dim light, the pupil dilates allowing more light to enter the pupils.

3) Salivary reflex: Salivary reflex deals with the release of saliva from salivary glands into the mouth when food enters the mouth to help with its digestion. It is also activated to keep the mouth moist to help in a variety of functions such as while talking or for easy swallowing of food etc.
