Structure of spinal cord
Fetal 3rd month: ends at coccyx
Birth: ends at L3 Adult position at approx L1-2
during childhood End: conus medullaris
This tapers into filum terminale of connective tissue, tethered to coccyx
Spinal cord segments are superior to where their corresponding spinal nerves emerge through intervetebral foramina (see also fig 17.5, p 288)
Denticulate ligaments: lateral shelves of pia mater anchoring to dura (meninges: more later)
Spinal cord

Spinal nerves continued
Divided based on vertebral locations 8 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral 1 coccygeal Cauda equina (“horse’s tail”): collection of nerve
roots at inferior end of vertebral canal

Classified as
According to centre IN THE SPINAL CORD-
seg, inter, supra. According to function-
flexor, extensor, postural R. Clinically-
supreficial, deep, visceral No. of synapse involved.
Mono and polysynaptic According to origin–
spinal cord, brain stem, cortical etc. Conditional and unconditional – since birth
Rapid, stereotyped, invountary response to a sensory stimuli consciouslly or unconsciouslly.

REFLEX ARC ANATOMICAL NERVOUS PATHWAY OF
REFLEX IS CALLED REFLEX ARC.RECEPTORSENSORY / AFFERENT NERVECENTEREFFERENT / MOTOR NERVEEFFECTOR ORGAN
* BELL-MAGENDIE LAW: DORSAL ROOTS ARE SENSORY & VENTRAL ROOTS ARE MOTOR.

RECIPROCAL INNERVATION AND RECIPROCAL INHIBITION
Flexor (withdrawal) Reflex Step on tack (pain fibers send
signal to spinal cord Interneurons branch to different
spinal cord segments Motor fibers in several
segments are activated More than one muscle group
activated to lift foot off of tack
Dr. Ashok Solanki 18May 2, 2023
Crossed Extensor Reflex Lifting left foot requires
extension of right leg to maintain one’s balance
Pain signals cross to opposite spinal cord
Contralateral extensor muscles are stimulated by interneurons to hold up the body weight
Reciprocal innervation - when extensors contract flexors relax, etc

Clinical ConsiderationsChecking a patient’s reflexes may help
to detect disorders/injuryPlantar flexion reflex -- stroke the lateral
margin of the solenormal response is curling under the toesabnormal response or response of children
under 18 months is called Babinski sign (upward fanning of toes due to incomplete myelination in child)

Inverse stretch reflexGolgi tendon organ- 2 to 15 in each
muscle.Responds to tension and not the lengthThe Golgi tendon reflex is a protective
reflexrise in tension is sensed by the Golgi
tendon a which stimulates the I-b stimulates the I-b afferents
stimulate the inhibitory interneurons inhibit the α-motoneuron discharge to
the muscleThis reflex relaxation of the extrafusal
muscle fibers
May 2, 2023 Dr. Ashok Solanki 22
INVERSE STRETCH REFLEX/ AUTOGENIC INHIBITION
WHEN A MUSCLE IS STRETCHED, IT CONTRACTS BUT IF THE STRETCH IS MAINTAINED (CONTINUED), THE MUSCLE RELAXES.

VISCERAL REFLEXES PUPILLARY REFLEXES:
DIRECT LIGHT REFLEXINDIRECT OR CONSENSUAL LIGHT REFLEX
ACCOMODATION REFLEX: CONSTRICTION OF PUPIL, CONVERGENCE OF EYE BALLS, INCREASE IN ANTERIOR CURVATURE OF LENS
CILIOSPINAL REFLEX: STIMULATION OF SKIN IN NECK –DILATATION OF PUPILS
OCULOCARDIAC REFLEX: PRESSURE OVER EYEBALLS - BRADYCARDIA

Flexor reflex (Withdrawal, "hot stove")
1. receptors sense pain2. sensory impulse to
spinal cord3. synapse to
association neuron, synapse to motor neurons
polysynaptic4. motor neurons to
flexor muscles to 5. withdraw offended

Spinal reflexes
Static stretch reflex- maintain the toneMaintain constant degree of muscle
contraction (Tone)
Continuous static receptor signal → transmitted via both primary and secondary neurons → S.C → continuous command by static gamma motor neurons → Tone.
Normal tone is due to continuous dischrge of gamma m. n.
May 2, 2023 Dr. Ashok Solanki 32
Stretch reflex 2 types
-Response that is transmitted:Dynemic:
-when there is change in the length of the spindle receptor (stretching of the sensory receptor area of the muscle spindle by stretching of the muscle spindle or the whole muscle). Detect Change in length.-transmitted by the primary fiber Aα type
Staticcontinuous information about the length of the muscle (not the change in length).transmitted by both the primary Aα and secondary (Aβ and Aγ)
May 2, 2023 Dr. Ashok Solanki 33
APPLIED:Decreased (hypoactive) stretch reflex:
Destruction of sensory or motor nerve to the muscle
Stimulation of inhibitory areas in brain
Inhibition of facilitatory areas in the brain
Hypothyroidism

Importance or use of stretch reflex:
1. Tone maintenance2. Maintenance of posture3. Control of voluntary movements
