Which type of reflex affect inner Organs?

Correct answer: A. Autonomic reflex arc

  • A. Autonomic reflex arc
  • B. Somatic reflex arc
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The type of reflex that affects inner organs is "Autonomic reflex arc." Autonomic reflex arcs involve the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is responsible for regulating involuntary functions of internal organs and glands. These reflexes control various vital functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, respiratory rate, and glandular secretion. In an autonomic reflex arc, sensory information from the internal organs (viscera) is detected by sensory receptors called visceral receptors. This sensory input is transmitted to the autonomic nervous system, which processes the information and generates appropriate motor responses. The motor responses are then transmitted to the smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands, which control the involuntary activities of the internal organs.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
