Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contralateral reflexes involve the activation of muscles on the opposite side of the body as the stimulus. Ipsilateral reflexes involve the activation of muscles on the same side of the body as the stimulus. Commensual and parasympathetic do not refer to reflexes related to muscle activation. Involuntary simply means not under conscious control, which is not specific to reflexes.
