autonomic reflexes

 Autonomic reflexes are responses that occur when nerve impulses pass through autonomic reflex arc.

A neural pathway that control action reflex that affect inner organs and in somatic reflex arc that affect muscles.

Visceral sensory neurons, which send information concerning chemical changes action stretch, irritation of viscera pain, are first link in autonomic reflexes.

Autonomic reflexes are have-

Sensory receptor

Sensory neurons; conduct impulses

Association neurons; signal from sensory neurons to motor neurons.

Motor neurons

Effector

 Involuntary; smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland secretion

Level of ANS control

CNS activity is regulated by CNS controls in -

Spinal cord

Brain stem

Hypothalamus

Cerebral cortex
