For the second part of the lab‚ we will observe which muscle groups are involved in plantar flexion and in dorsiflexion of the ankle‚ if different stimulus strengths change the reflex time‚ and to determine conduction time from tendon tap to response of the gastrocnemius muscle in the Achilles reflex arc and of the quadriceps muscle in the patellar

The brachial plexus is a somatic nerve plexus formed by intercommunications among the ventral rami (roots) of the lower 4 cervical nerves (C5-C8) and the first thoracic nerve (T1). It lies partly in the neck and partly in the axilla. It is responsible for the motor innervation of all of the muscles of the upper extremity‚ with the exception of the trapezius and levator scapula. The brachial plexus supplies all of the cutaneous innervation of the upper limb‚ except for the area of the axilla (which

look at the anatomy of the knee. In the picture you can see the tibia and the top part of the leg the femur‚ and then the patella that makes up a knee joint. The knee joint is a hinge joint but unlike the hinge joint in the elbow which only allows flexion and extension the knee joint also can pivot as well. An ACL injury can occur on the anterior cruciate ligament which is between the joint. It can also occur on the Medial meniscus which cushions the 2 bones. Muscle injuries A muscle is a bundle
