What is autonomic behavior?
Autonomic behaviour is characterised by self configuration and self healing capabilities, aimed at permitting the system to manage the failure of one of its agents and ensure continuous functioning.
What tools do physicians use?
Physicians use a variety of tools in their practice, including stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, otoscopes for ear examinations, ophthalmoscopes for eye examinations, reflex hammers for testing reflexes, and thermometers for measuring body temperature. They also utilize diagnostic tools such as X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, and blood tests to help diagnose and monitor medical conditions.
What makes you dizzy?
Usually dizziness is a result of low blood flow to and/or low oxygenation in the brain. It is for this reason that you are told to get horizontal or put your head between your legs/lower than your heart position to increase the blood flow and oxygenation to the brain if you become dizzy.There are many ways to become dizzy. Some examples are:If you lie down for a while, and then quickly get up, and start moving around, it may cause temporary dizziness from hypotension (this is called orthostatic hypotension).Becoming intoxicated from alcohol or drugs in some drug classes (such as narcotics) will make you dizzy for the remainder of the intoxication/drug action. Both of these are due to central nervous system depression.Heart failure or other heart disease and circulatory insufficiency can cause dizziness.Vasovagal response is the most common cause of dizziness and syncope (passing out), it is an autonomic nervous system problem related to the vagus nerve.Breathing noxious fumes or other gases that disrupt the oxygen content in your blood can make you dizzy.You can become dizzy from dehydration or other causes of low blood volume such as blood loss.Decreased blood flow to the brain can also be caused by blood vessel constrictions or obstructions, especially in the carotid arteries that supply the head with oxygenated blood.
What is patellar knee-jerk reflex a somatic or autonomic reflex?
yes, the knee relfex felt when tapped just below the knee cap on the patellar tendon is a somatic reflex which is a contraction of skeletal muscles. the opposite would be autonomic relfexes which consist of contractions of smooth or cardiac muscle or secretion by glands.
The patellar knee jerk reflex is an example of?
Patellar reflex is an involuntary, deep tendon and myotatic reflex
Is the Patellar reflex inhibited or enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps?
The patellar reflex is enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps. When you contract your quadriceps, it stretches the patellar tendon, causing a stronger reflex response when the knee is tapped.
The patellar reflex is a type of?
The patellar reflex is a type of stretch reflex that involves tapping the patellar tendon to elicit a contraction of the quadriceps muscle and extension of the knee. This reflex helps to maintain balance and stability.
Which of the following is not correct regarding the patellar knee jerk reflex?
The statement "The patellar knee jerk reflex is controlled by the brain" is not correct. The patellar knee jerk reflex is actually a spinal reflex, meaning it does not involve the brain in its initial response.
Another name for the patellar reflex is the?
the knee-jerk reflex
What reflex is the knee jerk reflex an example of?
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
Which ligament of the knee initiates the knee-jerk reflex?
The patellar tendon, just underneath the kneecap
How does the patella reflex differ from the pupillary reflex?
The patellar reflex involves the tapping of the patellar tendon to elicit a knee jerk response, testing the integrity of the spinal nerves. The pupillary reflex involves the constriction of the pupils in response to bright light, mediated by the autonomic nervous system. Both reflexes are protective mechanisms but involve different anatomical pathways.
Where are sensory stretch receptors of the withdrawal reflex located?
they are located in the limbs, because the limbs are the effectors of the withdrawal reflex.
What is a normal reaction for the patellar reflex?
knee jerk
What reflexes are classified as autonomic reflexes?
The ciliospinal reflex and the pupillary light reflex are classified as autonomic reflexes.
