Linked from

The 17 pages that link to Reflex arc, each with the reason it gives.

• Autonomic nervous systemRelated: Autonomic reflexes rapidly adjust organs in response to internal changes.

• Peripheral nervous systemRelated: Some peripheral sensory input triggers movement through spinal circuits with little delay.

• Central nervous systemRelated: Some spinal circuits produce protective responses before signals reach the brain.

• Sensory neuronRelated: Sensory neurons provide the incoming limb that can trigger spinal reflexes.

• Spinal cordRelated: It describes the circuit, while the spinal cord is one possible site where that circuit is integrated.

• Nervous systemRelated: It shows how sensory input can trigger a rapid coordinated response.

• RadiculopathyRelated: Changes in reflexes can help localize which nerve root is affected.

• NeuroanatomyRelated: Its components show how spinal anatomy can support responses without waiting for cortical processing.

• Balance (ability)Related: Fast reflex pathways can contribute to automatic postural corrections.

• Somatic nervous systemRelated: Some somatic responses use spinal reflex circuits without conscious control.

• Motor cortexCompared with: Many reflexes use spinal or brainstem circuits rather than requiring voluntary cortical initiation.

• Sensory nervous systemCompared with: Some sensory signals trigger spinal responses before conscious perception occurs.

• Functional psychologyRelated: Dewey argued that stimulus and response form a coordinated activity rather than isolated stages.

• Neural pathwayCompared with: A reflex arc is a functional response circuit, while pathway names emphasize routes between structures.

• Charles Scott SherringtonBroader topic: Sherrington investigated how pathways linking sensory input to movement organize reflexes.

• HyporeflexiaNarrower topic: Damage to any link in this pathway can weaken a reflex.

• Physiological phenomenaBroader topic: It demonstrates how sensory input can trigger coordinated action.
