Describe the various classifications of neural reflexes

What will be an ideal response?


Neural reflexes are classified according to their development (innate reflexes versus acquired reflexes), the nature of the resulting motor response (somatic reflexes versus visceral reflexes), the complexity of the neural circuit involved (monosynaptic reflexes versus polysynaptic reflexes), and the site of information processing (spinal reflexes versus cranial reflexes).
