• C8 exits between C7
and T1
• below C8, named for
vertebra above exit spot
(T6 nerve exits below T6
vertebra)

Reflexes
– Rapid, automatic, involuntary reactions of muscles or
glands to a stimulus
– All have similar properties

•
stimulus required to initiate response
rapid response requires that few neurons be involved

involuntary response requires no intent or pre-awareness

Direct communication
between sensory and

stretch reflex)
• Monosynaptic reflex
is simplest
• Sensory neuron
synapses directly
with motor neuron
– ex. knee-jerk reflex
Fig. 16.14
Stretch reflex
• Knee-jerk response is a stretch
reflex
• Spindles in skeletal muscles
monitor stretch
• Response to stretch is to
contract muscle
• When patellar ligament is
struck, quadriceps femoris
lengthens quickly, causing
reflexive contraction; foot kicks

communication
(e.g., withdrawal reflex)
• Polysynaptic reflexes
include more neurons,

– ex. pulling back from hot
stove
– ex. crossed-extensor reflex:
supports postural muscles
when you pull your foot back

Reflexes
– Can be used to test specific muscle groups, spinal
nerves, or sections of spinal cord
– hypoactive reflex may indicate damage to spinal
cord, muscle disease or damage to neuromuscular
junction
– hyperactive reflex may indicate damage in brain or
spinal cord
