Identify and describe the properties of a reflex.

Use logic to determine whether each of the following reflexes is a somatic reflex or an autonomic (visceral) reflex. Hint: think about what the effector is — is it a skeletal muscle, or is it a smooth / cardiac muscle or gland? -Patellar (knee-jerk) reflex -Pupillary light reflex (autonomic/somatic) -Effectors are skeletal muscles (autonomic/somatic) -Effectors are smooth muscles or glands (autonomic/somatic) -Regulation of blood pressure (autonomic/somatic) -Salivary reflex (autonomic/somatic)

Place the following concepts in the correct order to explain how a reflex works: Target organs , Afferent neuron , Sensory receptor , Interneuron , Motor neuron
