What tendon is used to reconstruct anterior cruciate?
The most common tendon used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the patellar tendon, which is harvested from the patellar bone and tibial tubercle. Other options include the hamstring tendons (semimembranosus, semitendinosus) or quadriceps tendon. The choice of tendon graft depends on various factors like patient's age, activity level, and surgeon's preference.
what type of reflex is the knee?
The knee reflex is also called the knee-jerk reflex by tapping the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer. This sends sensory information to the spinal cord at L4 and motor information back to the Quadriceps in the thigh (relaxing the hamstrings). This is reflex requires only two neurons. No interneuron. And so is very rapid. It is important in balance and posture.
What term is the distortion or impairment of voluntary movement such as a tic?
No, Ataxia is the inability to coordinate muscle activity during voluntary movement. These movements, which are often shaky and unsteady, are most frequently caused by abnormal activity in the cerebellum. Dyskinesia is the distortion or impairment of voluntary movement such as in a tic or spasm.
What is the significance of the enzyme curve in understanding the catalytic activity of enzymes?
The enzyme curve helps us understand how enzymes work by showing the relationship between enzyme concentration and reaction rate. It helps us determine the optimal conditions for enzyme activity and how enzymes can be inhibited or enhanced.
What does cerebellum adjust voluntary and involuntary motor activity in response to?
The cerebellum adjusts voluntary and involuntary motor activity in response to sensory feedback from the body, including information on muscle tension, joint position, and balance. It helps to coordinate and fine-tune movements to ensure smooth and efficient control over motor functions.
How did the response time for the learned activity performed in the laboratory compare to that for the simple patellar reflex?
The learned activity's response time changed while the simple patellar reflex stayed the same.

When the subject was concentring on an arithmetic problem did the change noted in the patellar reflex indicate that brain activity is necessary for the patellar reflex or only that it may modify it?
It may modify it.
How did the response time for the learned activity?
The learned activity's response time changed while the simple patellar reflex stayed the same.
The brainstem is the center of voluntary activity?
True.
What happens if calcitonin levels rise?
Osteoclasts activity is inhibited and blood calcium levels rise.
Example of voluntary muscle activity?
Me typing the answer to this question. You clicking on my 'recommend contributor' button. Any activity that you can control is voluntary. Swimming, Running, Mowing the lawn, talking, etc.

If an enzyme has been inhibited noncompetitively?
If an enzyme has been inhibited noncompetitively, the inhibitor binds to the enzyme at a site other than the active site, altering the enzyme's shape and reducing its activity. This type of inhibition is not overcome by increasing the substrate concentration.
What portion of the peripheral nervous system governs voluntary activity?
The somatic nervous system.
What is inhibition and why enzymes need to be inhibited?
- Inhibition of an enzyme is to inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. - Because, by blocking or inhibiting an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance. Example : Inhibition of HIV protease.
What do you consider the most important characteristics of physical activity?
Bodily movement that is voluntary and goal oriented consider the most important characteristics of physical activity.
