The nerve pathway involved in a reflex action, including at its simplest a sensory nerve and a motor nerve with a synapse between.
〔生理〕反射弧
Example sentencesExamples
Superimposed on this reflex arc, are suprasegmental modifying influences from the brain stem, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and cerebral cortex.
When the normal sympathetic reflex arc fails to discontinue at the appropriate time, a temporary vasoconstrictive action of small vessels occurs.
These relaxations are vagally mediated, but the reflex arc that produces them can be affected by stimulation of other receptors.
Card's results imply that there could be a simple neural solution that ‘answers’ questions within what is essentially a reflex arc.
The changes in the blood vessel and local hemodynamics could be mediated via a reflex arc, consisting of somatic afferent and autonomic efferent components.
