Discussion In the patellar reflex experiment‚ the class results have shown the reaction is faster with performing the Jendrassik’s maneuver. Our group hypothesis was proven incorrect. The source of error in this experiment would be the subject can easily control the skeletal muscles which would be voluntarily because the subject was not blindfolded. Therefore‚ the subject can see the rubber coming at their knee and is expecting the knee to jerk. It’s hard to consider this exact result when the subject

Things such as reflexes are innate behaviour; a reflex is an involuntary automatic response to a certain stimulus. Those who believe we are shaped by nature are known as nativists. Examples of innate behaviour are the moro or falling reflex‚ the moro reflex is any sudden movement that affect the baby’s neck‚ giving them the feeling of falling or being dropped. The baby’s innate reaction to this is to

(1) The Patellar reflex‚ or Knee-Jerk reflex‚ is used to test the nervous tissue in the spinal cord from L2-L4. The patellar reflex is known as a “reflex arc”. It is a negative feedback circuit that is made of three components. The first is a sensory‚ or afferent neuron which takes in information from a sensory stimulus‚ and translates
