reflective teacher. Reflection can be a challenging endeavor. It's not something that's fostered in school-typically someone else tells you how you're doing! Teachers are often so caught up in the meeting the demands of the day, that they rarely have the luxury to muse on how things went.
A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.his characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain, although the brain will receive sensory input while the reflex is carried out.
reflex action. an involuntary response to a stimulus conveyed to the nervous system and reflected to the periphery (see also reflex). reflex bradycardia. bradycardia occurring as a reflex initiated by severe atrial or ventricular stretch. positive reaction is a sharp contraction of the muscle of which the tendon is part. The patellar reflex is the best known of these reflexes. Absence indicates a defect in the reflex arc, an exaggerated response suggests an upper motor neuron lesion. Called also myotactic reflex.
