Is the knee jerk reflex an extensor thrust reflex?
No, the knee jerk reflex is a monosynaptic reflex that involves the contraction of the quadriceps muscle to extend the knee in response to a tap on the patellar tendon. It is not considered an extensor thrust reflex, which involves a more complex pattern of muscle activation to generate forceful extension of the limb.
Why is the reflex arc important to protect the body?
because it makes you react quickly by using fast twitch fibres in your body which makes your muscles react.
How are reflex tests performed?
Reflex tests are performed by a healthcare provider using a reflex hammer to strike a specific tendon, such as the knee tendon, which causes a muscle to contract involuntarily. The resulting reflex response is then observed and assessed for any abnormalities.
What is a intersegmental reflex arc?
An intersegmental reflex arc is a type of reflex pathway that involves multiple segments of the spinal cord, allowing for coordinated responses across different regions of the body. It integrates sensory input from one segment with motor output in another, facilitating complex reflex actions, such as those seen in posture and locomotion. This type of reflex is crucial for maintaining balance and adjusting movements in response to changes in the environment.
Another name for the patellar reflex is the?
the knee-jerk reflex
How is the reflex response different from the sensory response?
The stimulus is what triggers the reflex response.
How is a habit such as blowing your nose different to a reflex?
Depends on the reflex, but a classic reflex is totally without thought. You can not suppress it even if you try.
What is a loud noise that makes you jump an example of?
The startle reflex.
Why cant a triangle have a reflex angle?
The three interior angles in a triangle must add up to 180o, and a reflex angle is one that is bigger than 180o. This makes it impossible for a triangle to have any interior reflex angles.
The makes it virtually impossible to voluntarily over-inflate the lungs?
Hering-Breuer reflex
Discuss the differences between the sucking rooting reflex rooting reflex grasping reflex and the moro reflex?
Definitions:The Rooting Reflex: When a baby's cheek is touch, the baby will turn its head and search for the nipple.Sucking Reflex: Infants will suck whatever is placed in their mouth.Grasping Reflex: Infants will try to grab whatever is placed in their palms or feet.Moro Reflex: An Infant will stretch their limbs out and then retract them quickly (to be small) when they are scared.Differences:These are different because they are all different responses to different stimuli.The rooting reflex responds to being touched, the sucking to having something put into their mouth, the grasping for something to be put into their hands or feet, and the Moro for being frightened by a loud sound or light.
How do you work out reflex angles?
Nobody has ever worked out a reflex angle. Millions of people have worked out examples, exercises, questions, and problems where reflex angles were involved, and before any of them could do that, they had to know what the question is. It makes a difference, and you're not there yet.
Is the knee jerk reflex an extensor thrust reflex?

It is not considered an extensor thrust reflex, which involves a more complex pattern of muscle activation to generate forceful extension of the limb.
What happens after the spinal cord makes a decision in a reflex?
There are no "decisions" involved in a reflex. Generally the response is to trigger whatever motor nerves move the affected area away from the stimulus.
Different types of angles?
obtuse angle reflex angle right
What are two different types of angles?
acute, right, obtuse and reflex
How is a reflex action different from a action by hormines?
Reflex action is the instant reaction of our body while hormonial action takes more time to react
