It is an automatic response that occurs without conscious thought. Example of the withdrawal reflex: Stimulus: A person accidentally touches a hot stove. Sensor: The sensors in the person's skin detect the high temperature and send signals to the Show more…

explain the negative feedback mechanism that was occurs in your body that lead to you needing to finally take a breath after having held your breath. Include the stimulus, sensor, afferent path, integrating center, efferent path, effector and response, and briefly explain the role of each as well as the overall impact of the response.

During a withdrawal reflex of the foot, what happens to the limb on the side opposite the stimulus? What is this response called? In the patellar reflex, identify the response observed and the effectors involved. What type of postsynaptic potential would be more likely to promote an action potential - an IPSP or an EPSP? Explain.
