Chapter 13 review questions 18 Polysynaptic reflexes can






















- Slides: 22
Chapter 13 review questions 18. Polysynaptic reflexes can produce far more complicated responses than can monosynaptic reflexes because (a) the response time is quicker (b) the response is initiated by highly sensitive receptors (c) motor neurons carry impulses at a faster rate than so sensory neurons (d) the interneurons involved can control several muscle groups 30. Bowel and urinary bladder control involve spinal reflex arcs that are located in the sacral region of the spinal cord. In both instances, two sphincter muscles – an inner sphincter muscle of smooth muscle and an outer sphincter of skeletal muscle – control the passage of wastes (feces and urine) out of the body. How would a transection of the spinal cord at the L 1 segment level affect an individual’s bowel and bladder control? © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.

Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area Example of Broca’s aphasia: person says, "Book book two table, " meaning, "There are two books on the table.
