What happens to the patellar reflex if jendrassik's manoeuvre is performed at tha same time when patella is struck?
The Jendrassik maneuver is a medical maneuver wherein the patient flexes both sets of fingers into a hook-like form and interlocks those sets of fingers together. The tendon below the patient's knee is then hit with a reflex hammer to elicit the patellar reflex. The elicited response is compared with the reflex result of the same action when the maneuver is not in use. Often a larger reflex response will be observed when the patient is occupied with the maneuver, as the maneuver may prevent the patient from consciously inhibiting or influencing his or her response to the hammer.
Automatic response to an event is known as?
Reflex
What role does the brain play in a reflex response?
The brain initiates a reflex response by sending signals down the spinal cord to the specific muscle or organ involved. However, the actual reflex action occurs at the level of the spinal cord, without the need for input from the brain. This allows for a quicker and more automatic response to potentially harmful stimuli.
What term describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it?
The term reflex or phrase reflex action describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it. It is controlled through the brain, but does not require thought.
What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
How is the reflex response different from the sensory response?
The stimulus is what triggers the reflex response.

What is called the red light reflex?

What is an automatic response that involves only part of an organism?

What is the part in reflex in the response?
Reflex action is your body's reflex against injury. It is needed in every part of your body.
