The normal palpebral reflex results in the blinking of the eyelids when the area around the eyes is gently tapped or stimulated. This response indicates proper functioning of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), which mediates sensation, and the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), which controls the muscles involved in blinking. A positive reflex suggests intact neurological pathways and is often assessed during neurological examinations. Absence of this reflex could indicate potential nerve damage or neurological issues.
knee jerk
It results in flexion of the toes
Hitting the Achilles tendon with a reflex hammer can elicit a normal reflex called the Achilles reflex or ankle jerk. This test assesses the integrity of the S1 and S2 nerve roots. A brisk contraction of the calf muscles and a slight plantar flexion of the foot is the normal response.
Yes, the Babinski reflex is a somatic reflex. It is a normal response in infants where the big toe extends and the other toes fan out when the sole of the foot is stroked. In adults, a Babinski reflex is considered abnormal and can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract in the central nervous system.
Innate reflexes are reflexes that result from the connections of neurons during their development.
This is the palpebral reflex and tests the function of cranial nerves V and VII. Absence of a palpebral reflex indicates an adequate plane of anesthesia for most surgical procedures.
The best examples of this is to shin a light in one eye and both pupils constrict. You are testing cranial nerve II.Or the corneal reflex (touch one cornea) both eyes blink, a test of CN VII or the palpebral reflex, touch one eye lid or lashes and both eyes blink, another test of CN VII.
your palpebral fissure is the space between your upper and lower eyelid so slanted palpebral fissure simply means that you have slanted eyes commonly seem in children with down's syndrome and people or Asian decent
my tsh reflex result is .90 range is to be 040-4.0 should this be of concern?

The primary purpose of this reflex is to limit the possibility of overinflating the lungs.
The palpebral conjunctiva lines the eyelid
Newborns may jump in their sleep due to the Moro reflex, which is a normal startle reflex in infants. This reflex causes them to suddenly extend their arms and legs. It is a common behavior in newborns and typically decreases as they grow older.
