What else can I help you with?
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.
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
Is the patellar tendon above or below the patella?
it starts above and it connects onto the Tibial Tubercle which is right under the Patella.
What is patellar fx?
Patellar fx is shorthand for patellar fracture, or a broken kneecap.
Which ligament of the knee initiates the knee-jerk reflex?
The patellar tendon, just underneath the kneecap
What is a patellar?
Patellar means related to the patella bone. Patella is a sesamoid bone in the front of the knee joint. Terms are used like pre-pattellar or post-patellar. Pre-patellar means proximal to the patella or post patellar means distal to the patella bone. Patellar tendon or patellar dislocation. The expert in the English grammar should comment on the correctness of the term, please.
What is the relationship between the patellar and femoral region?
The patellar region is DISTAL to the femoral region.
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.
What is the common name of sub patellar bursitis?
The common name for sub patellar bursitis is "knee bursitis."
What is the effector involved the patellar reflex?
In order to provoke the patellar reflex one must strike the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer (and only a tendon hammer, striking with an ordinary hammer is ill-advised). In other words, strike the region immediately below the patella.
The patellar knee jerk reflex is an example of?
Patellar reflex is an involuntary, deep tendon and myotatic reflex
To what bony structure does the patellar ligament attach?
The patella and anterior tbia attach to the patellar ligament.
Do monkeys live in groups called mobs or troops?
mobs
Is kneecap area is patellar area?
yes
What does the patellar reflex employ?
The patellar reflex employs the sensory and motor nerves in the leg that control the contraction of the quadriceps muscle in response to tapping the patellar tendon just below the knee cap.
