refleksikeskus
Refleksikeskus, often translated as reflex center, refers to a neural pathway responsible for a reflex action. Reflexes are involuntary, rapid, and predictable responses to stimuli. These actions are mediated by the nervous system and do not require conscious thought. The simplest reflex center is a monosynaptic reflex arc, which involves a single synapse between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron. A more complex polysynaptic reflex arc involves interneurons between the sensory and motor neurons.
When a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, it generates an electrical signal that travels along a sensory
Examples of reflexes mediated by reflex centers include the knee-jerk reflex (a monosynaptic stretch reflex) and
