which organ control reflexes below the neck
Answers
Answer:
spinal cord controls reflex below neck
Explanation:
Tonic Neck Reflexes
Reflex changes in muscle tone and posture, especially in the extremities when the relationship of the head to the body is changed, are known as neck reflexes. Neck reflexes are not usually seen in normally functioning humans and animals. Stimulation of the labyrinths (labyrinthine reflexes) produces effects on muscle tone and posture that are exactly the opposite of the neck reflexes, thereby holding these in balance in the normal individual. However, in decerebrate animals, human infants, and children with cerebral palsy, the neck reflexes may be unmasked and can be demonstrated by turning the head from side to side. For example, when the head is rotated to the right, an increase in extensor tone occurs in the ipsilateral extremities and an increase in flexor tone is seen in the contralateral extremities, producing the so‐called fencer's posture.
