What (who) is axon reflex - definition


Axon reflex         
  • A flow map of the axon reflex. Stimulation of the axon can cause electric flow to all effector tissues the neuron innervates, as well as back to the soma of the neuron; this is distinct from a normal neuron firing only down the axon.
  • A normal spinal cord reflex arc, whereas the axon reflex would bypass the interneuron. This distinction is important because early researchers had to differentiate between the spinal cord reflex and the axon reflex to understand the body's response to stimuli.
  • Vasoconstriction and vasodilation, an effect that can be caused from axon reflex stimulation in certain tissues, demonstrated compared to the normal blood vessel.
The axon reflex (or the flare response) is the response stimulated by peripheral nerves of the body that travels away from the nerve cell body and branches to stimulate target organs. Reflexes are single reactions that respond to a stimulus making up the building blocks of the overall signaling in the body's nervous system.

  • An example of reflex reversal is depicted. Activating the same spinal reflex pathway can cause limb flexion while standing, and extension while walking.
  • The simplest reflex is initiated by a stimulus, which activates an afferent nerve. The signal is then passed to a response neuron, which generates a response.

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis), or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences), is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles, and glands.
