Question
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
What is the function of the patellar reflex when clapping both hands
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)
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.
