What is the name of an instrument used to demonstrate knee-jerk?
The instrument commonly used to demonstrate the knee-jerk reflex is called a reflex hammer. It is a small, handheld device typically made of rubber and metal, designed to strike tendons gently to elicit reflex responses. The most common reflex tested is the patellar reflex, which involves the knee-jerk response when the patellar tendon is tapped.
The patellar knee jerk reflex is an example of?
Patellar reflex is an involuntary, deep tendon and myotatic reflex
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.
Is a patellar reflex autonomic?
no
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.
Another name for the patellar reflex is the?
the knee-jerk reflex
What reflex is the knee jerk reflex an example of?
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
Which ligament of the knee initiates the knee-jerk reflex?
The patellar tendon, just underneath the kneecap
Where are sensory stretch receptors of the withdrawal reflex located?
they are located in the limbs, because the limbs are the effectors of the withdrawal reflex.
What is a normal reaction for the patellar reflex?
knee jerk
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.
