Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The afferent pathways of postural reflexes mainly come from the eyes, the vestibular apparatus, and the receptors involved in proprioception. This information is processed in the brainstem and cerebellum to generate the appropriate motor responses for maintaining balance and posture. The other options (muscle spindles and temperature receptors, nociceptors and chemoreceptors, and the somatosensory cortex) are not primary sources of afferent input for the postural reflexes.
