A sympathetic spinal cord reflex is when a reflex is performed and then a signal is sent to the brain. One great example is the sympathetic knee reflex. When a doctor hits your knee with a rubber hammer right on the Golgi tendon and it promotes a reflex that is a prime example of a sympathetic spinal cord reflex. The flexion of the of your knee come from your spinal cord. The primary spinal nerve fibers are coming from L4, L2, L3. When your struck with the rubber hammer, a message is sent to the somatic sensory neuron to the posterior horn. It is then sent to the motor movement center or the anterior horn to the ventral root and finally to the spinal nerve to reacted and move the lower part of your leg. When the hammer hits the Golgi tendon, it provides a stimulus that exceeded minimal threshold which then uses A fibers to conduct nerve impulses rapidly. When minimal threshold is reached it is ready for the next step called relative. This is when your body is ready and is anticipating the next action. Finally the last step is
