How does visual information processing affect the response to muscle stretch reflexes?

Solution

The coupled co-ordination between audio-visual system and the muscle reflexes is very systematic in nature. The skeleto-muscular system is fortified with afferent and efferent nerve endings which perform the dual function of reception and response against a stimulus. This holds true for the visual processing system as well. The path of this information can be discussed as below:

When a stimulus is perceived by the eyes in the form of visual cue, the afferent nerve endings of the retina transfer this information to the neurons in the visual centre of the brain. These neurons process this information and decide the nature of response to be generated. Sometimes, the response might be aroused in a way that the skeleto-muscular system is activated. This can be understood simply in terms of putting hands forward when an object falls against the face. The neurons of the visual centre of the brain communicate with the neurons of skeleto-muscular centre and pass this information regarding motion of the hands and sudden generation of stretching reflex of the muscles. The efferent neurons perform this function and we are able to cover the face with hands.

Thus, this path of information deciphers that the visual information is processed in a part of brain and transferred to another part of brain by inter-neuronal communication which causes generation of a response/reflex action in the muscles by virtue of which we are able to move our hands.
