Chapter 14.6, Problem 25WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The five steps of a reflex arc.
Introduction:
A reflex arc is a pathway associated with the initiation of reflex actions. These are involuntary and immediate reactions in response to a stimulus. For example, the immediate jerking of the hand after touching a hot object is a reflex. This arc of such reflexes is associated with the functional aspects of both the peripheral and central nervous systems.

To do so, she tested the patient's knee-jerk reflex by hitting the patient's patellar tendon with a rubber hammer. For this patient, the doctor observed that hitting the tendon caused no knee jerk reflex at all, even after many attempts. Normally, a patient will kick her lower leg after the hammer hit on the tendon. However, the doctor could stimulate contraction of the quadriceps leg muscles using a stimulating electrode that applied a voltage across the muscle. 1) During the examination, the patient got nervous. His heart rate increased. Which of the following would increase heart rate?

The doctor, with further analysis, determined that the receptor membranes of the stretch receptors were operating correctly.To do this, she carefully inserted an electrode into a stretch receptor's membrane, near to the location on the membrane where receptor proteins are located. She measured a change in voltage while hitting the tendon with the hammer. With further testing, the…arrow_forwardAaron accidentaly touched the hot kettle.
