Vestibular receptors of semicircular canals of an animal have been destroyed. What reflexes will disappear as a result?
- A. Body-righting reflex
- B. Head-righting reflex
- C. Statokinetic reflex during movements with angular acceleration
- D. Primary orienting reflex
- E. Statokinetic reflex during movements with linear acceleration
Hint
Ask what kind of head motion the semicircular canal receptors detect, in contrast to the otolith organs, and which reflexes rely on that signal.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
