When the response of a reflex is graded‚ the strength stimulation is proportional to the stimulus strength. Most reflexes are unlearned; however‚ some reflexes can be learned as a result of practice and learning. The five components of a reflex arc are receptor‚ integrator‚ afferent nerve fiber‚ efferent nerve fiber‚ and effector. These

A reflex is an involuntary movement caused by a stimulus (Hargrove‚ 2012). The term‚ Arthrokinectic reflex‚ is used to define the stimulation of certain muscles due to reflexing from sensory input of joint movement (Hargrove‚ 2012). This theory was originally supported

neck receptors work together with the righting reflex to produce movements of the extremities to help restore balance. The neck reflexes are more effective in modifying upper extremity action‚ and the labyrinthine in modifying those of the lower extremities. The symmetrical tonic neck reflex is the simultaneous flexion of the head/neck and upper extremities or simultaneous extension of the head/neck and upper extremities. The symmetrical labyrinthine reflex is the simultaneous flexion of the head/neck

Konnaiyan Patellar reflex: Patellar reflex is contributed by 3rd and 4th Lumbar segment nerves‚ in some cases 2nd lumbar segment is also involved. So an individual will be left with patellar reflex if these lumbar vertebrae are left intact. Patellar reflex is also called knee-jerk reflex as the names implies‚ it is involved with tapping of knee at certain point will cause a jerk movement. In medical terms when an individual is tapped on patellar tendon (area below the knee cap) using a reflex hammer‚ it

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
