No, those are two different reflexes.
First of all, stimuli are sounds, feelings, and sights that activate your reflexes. Second of all, people react to stimuli because it, again, is your reflexes kicking in. A stimulus can be bird tweeting during school in your classroom, and you get distracted by it and look. Or you could touch a hot object (the stimulus) and jerk your hand back or drop it (the reflex[es]).
When something like a hot object touches your hand, your receptors send impulses down the sensory neurone which then takes the impulses to the relay neurone (co-ordinator) which then sends the impulses to the motor neurone which goes in the opposite direction to an effector organ. This then reflexes your hand away from the hot object.
Yes! In addition to being a nerd, Suraj is a jerk
Since jerk is defined as the derivative (the rate of change) of acceleration, in the case of the area under the curve, it is the other way round: the integral (area under the curve) for jerk is the acceleration.

No
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.
The reflexes that have one thing in common are the knee, ankle, plantar jerk, biceps, and triceps. They are all governed by reflex arcs in the spine.
There are 5 somatic reflexes, stretch (spinal), crossed extensor (spinal), superficial cord (spinal), corneal (cranial), and gag (cranial).Involuntary automatic responses to sensory stimulation, for example, the knee-jerk reaction when tapped.Note: Reflexes, such as the contraction / dilation of the pupil, salivation when hungry are all controlled by autonomic reflexes.
No, those are two different reflexes.
The Achilles reflex is also known as the ankle-jerk reflex. it is controlled by the S1 segment of the spinal chord and occurs when the Achilles tendon is struck with a rubber hammer.
It is essential for walking because it moves your leg.
It is essential for walking because it moves your leg.
Research (done some decades back, actually) has found that the fastest reflexes are among "Olympic" weightlifters (i.e. those who do snatch, clean & jerk, and their associated lifts).
They jerk on leashes because when they are walking they are excited to get exercise. Also they jerk because they are CURIOUS of everything since their sense of smell and hearing are more keen then ours
Their body reflexes automatically cause the leg, from the knee down, to jerk upwards.
