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
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)
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. Explain?
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.

- A tap on the patellar tendon at the knee joint is used to test the knee-jerk reflex. All of the followings are correct, except ---------------------. The reflex starts with the 1a sensory neurons of the muscle spindle There is an excitatory stimulus to the motor pool of the extensor muscle There is a stimulation of the excitatory interneuron of the flexor muscle Excitation of the extensor muscle fibers causes the knee extension Muscle contraction depends on coordination between motor pools of antagonistic musclesarrow_forwardDo you think the patellar reflex would be inhibited or enhanced by actively contracting the quadriceps muscle group? With an understanding of how muscle spindle fibers work, explain how active contraction of a muscle might affect the myotactic reflex.

- Angus is an 18-year-old young adult, who is riding his skateboard in a city park. He is not wearing protective gear, including a helmet. When a friend distracts his attention, he runs head-on into a planter and is thrown over the planter box onto the concrete, landing on his left side. He immediately experiences pain in his left side, left wrist, and abdomen. His left wrist is angulated and obviously broken.A head-to-toe assessment demonstrates small, superficial scrapes on the patient's forehead and left cheek. His facial structures appear to be intact. Neurologically, he is normal, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. He has no complaints of shortness of breath, and his chest wall shows no obvious external injury. An x-ray of his left wrist shows a comminuted fracture of his left radius and ulna.Angus is taken to the operating room for orthopaedic repair of his left wrist. After surgery, he is admitted to the orthopaedic floor with orders for pain medication as needed.Q1.…arrow_forwardCarpal tunnel syndrome is a modern medical problem created by repetitive tasks such as keyboarding on computers or doing assembly line work. in this condition nerves in the wrist may become pinched, producing irritating, tingling sensations in the hands and lower arms. a) what is the source of the tinglingarrow_forwardThe patellar reflex leads to extension at the elbow extension at the knee plantar flexion flexion at the kneearrow_forward
