Best Answer

Holmes examines something like the walking stick and tries to figure out as much information as he can from it. As an example, he figures out that the owner of the stick has a dog because there are tooth marks in the stick. He determined that the dog is not that big because it has to grip the stick tightly to carry it, meaning there are deep tooth marks. He figures out what extensive size the dog is from how far apart the tooth marks are. This kind of reasoning can help him figure out who committed a crime because it allows him to get a lot of information from a small clue.

Did Sherlock Holmes have a weapon?

{| |- | Sherlock Holmes was a versatile man. He was an expert at the single stick, a sort of fencing with a walking stick. He favored a 'loaded crop' meaning a stick that had some lead added to it to add weight. On at least several occasions, he used a revolver. |}


How did Sherlock Holmes justify his inferences about the visitor that he was an amiable unambitious and absent-minded man?

You must mean Dr. Mortimer from 'The Hound of the Baskervilles.' He was amiable because he received a testimonial and a walking-stick as a gift likely from the Charing Cross Hospital. He was unambitious because he abandoned a London career for the country. He was absent-minded because he left said walking-stick and not his visiting-card behind after waiting an hour on his previous visit to 221b Baker Street.


What item has been left at Sherlock Holmes' office?

A goose and a hat in 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.' Grant Munro's pipe in 'The Yellow Face.' Dr. Mortimer's walking stick in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles.'.In 'The Adventure of the Dying Detective,' it was an ivory box. Also, the occasional calling card (what is referred to as a business card today).

Did John Watson use a cane in the Sherlock Holmes books?

I don't believe that the book specifies. However, a cane or walking stick was a common accessory for all gentlemen in the Victorian Era, it would have been unusual for him not to have one. Add in the fact that he may have been wounded in the leg (or possibly the shoulder), it would have been something he may have needed on occasion.

Explain the process known as reciprocal inhibition?

Reciprocal inhibition is the process by which muscles on one side of a joint relax allowing for the muscles on the other side of the joint to contract. It is a coordinated pattern an example of which would be when hamstrings relax so that the quadriceps may contract while running/walking and this occurs over and over. Type Ia sensory afferent axons project via inhibitory interneurons to the antagonistic muscle group (hamstrings in the case of walking) therefore inhibiting the hamstrings as the quadriceps are excited and vice versa.
