The two are different because of what triggers the reflex. While the patella is triggered through the sense of touch, the pupillary is triggered through light.
A bone formed in a tendon. Example are the patella and baculumA sesamoid bone is that bone which is embedded within a tendon. An example is the patella.
differentiate between a dynamic stretch reflex and a static stretch reflex
Sharks have no gag reflex.
The patella: 1- Increases the lever arm of the quadriceps muscle in its function to extend the knee joint. 2- Redirect the forces exerted by the quadriceps muscle.
a bone in the thigh of the back legs of the horse.
Pupillary light reflex is autonomic.
The receptor is the retina of the eye; smooth muscle of the iris is the effector. They both change simultaneously because the pupillary light reflex is contralateral.
Photopupillary reflex is pupillary constriction in response to light.
pupillary light reflex is controlled by parasympathetic branch of Autonomous nervous system
It is Polysynaptic
autonomic
The ciliospinal reflex and the pupillary light reflex are classified as autonomic reflexes.
While pupillary size in principle is controlled both by the sympathetic and the parasympathic nervous system, the typical closure of the pupil after illumination (i.e. the pupillary light reflex) is mediated by the parasympathetic innervation of the constrictor muscle of the pupil.
The most well-known human reflex is the knee-jerk (or patella) reflex. This is the one where you use a reflex hammer to hit the tendon just below the kneecap (or patella). The leg jerks out like you're kicking.
The division of autonomic nervous system responsible for pupillary light reflex is the parasympathetic system. This is what causes the pupils to close down or open up in response to lighting conditions.
You probably mean the pupillary reflex. It is the reflex responsible for your pupils constricting (becoming smaller) when exposed to light and dilating (becoming bigger) when you walk into a dark room.
Type your answer here... Constriction of the pupils is inability to adapt to changing light.
