Chapter 14, Problem 3CSL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The type of reflex formed when Juanita stepped on a piece of glass with her right foot which caused lifting of her right leg. The explanation of reflex in her lower limb which stabilized her and prevented her from falling down.
Concept introduction:
Reflex is generated in spinal nerves which are present in the spinal cord. The signal impulse gets transferred from the sensory receptor on the skin to spinal cord. The signal impulse moves ahead to the brain. The impulse is interpreted in brain and impulse transfers back to the spinal cord. The signal then reaches the effector organs.

Students have asked these similar questions
What is the function of the patellar reflex when clapping both hands
A patient came with the inability to
(i) abduct right side shoulder
(ii) supinate the forarm
(iii) flex elbow joint
What is the site of injury of the nerves? What is the point called? What nerves are affected? (very brief but good answer)
A student tested their patellar tendon (knee-jerk) reflex normally and with the JENDRASSIK MANEUVER (clasping
their hands together and attempting to pull them apart). While performing the Jendrassik maneuver, their reflex
response was TWICE AS HIGH when compared to the control condition. Explain.

- For this set of questions you will need to stand up from the chair you are sitting in, and then sit back down. Do this slowly so that you can pay attention to what is happening, and if necessary feel the tone of the muscles in your legs as your standing and sitting (If you are lying down or standing start from a seated position, then stand, then sit). a) During the standing phase, what function is being carried out at the hip joint? b) What are the prime movers (agonists) that are responsible for this particular movement (Hint: You should be able to feel them activated)? c) During the standing phase, what function is being carried out at the knee joint? d) What are the prime movers (agonists) that are responsible for this particular movement (Hint: You should be able to feel them activated)? e) As you sit back down, you realize that some of the same muscles activated during standing are also active when going from standing to sitting.
