What muscle is involved with the patellar reflex?
The quadriceps group of muscles. Rectus Femoris more specifically.
What are pyramidal signs?
· Increased tone in anti-gravity muscles · No muscle wasting · Paralysis of voluntary movements · Absent abdominal reflex · Babinski's Sign - plantar reflex · Deep tendon reflexes brisk, exaggerated/sustained clonus
What does a normal plantar reflex look like?
It results in flexion of the toes
Reflexes classified as somatic reflexes include?
A. abdominal reflex B. Achilles jerk D. corneal reflex E. crossed extensor reflex F. gag reflex G. patellar reflex H. plantar reflex

What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
What movement would you expect to occur during the Achilles reflex?
The Achilles reflex is also known as the ankle jerk reflex. If the Achilles tendon is tapped, the foot should jerk towards its plantar surface.
Is the corneal reflex a somatic reflex or an autonomic reflex?
This particular reflex is autonomic as the affected muscle, constrictor pupillae muscle, is a smooth muscle and not under conscious control. Typically if you can consciously contract the muscle, any reflex associated with that muscle is somatic in nature.
What reflex regulates the activity of smooth muscle?
autonomic reflex
How will we perform plantar reflex in amputated person?
Components of plantar reflex. 1st fanning of toes, 2nd plantar flexion of great toe, 3rd plantar flexion of ankle, 4th flexion at knee, 5th flexion and abduction at hip. So if toes r amputed u can check other components.. But if High amputation is done.. then its difficult to access and test the plantar reflex. Well there r many techniques to check plantar reflexes, but most commonly used one is to stroke the foot
Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
