Lab 2 Flashcards
What channnel does the pulse traducer plug into the iWork TA box?
A5
Simple nervous reflex arc
- Receptor that identifies the stimulus
- Afferent neuron carries sensory info to integration center
- Efferent neuron transmits motor info to an effector cell
- Effector cells goves response to initial stimulus
What is the integration center for spinal reflexes?
spinal cord
monosynaptic?
only involves two neurons and afferent neuron that synapses with effector neuron in spinal cord
stroop effect
- impact of a stimulus interference with the task being performed, it impacts completing the task effectively
What reflex arc is shorter according to our lab?
auditory relex arc
What had the shortest reaction time?
- simple
- prompted
- predictble
- predicatble
Patellar stretch is
Ipsilateral
Ipsilateral
- response is on same side of the body
Corneal reflex response is
- response is bilateral
Cilispinal reflex
Ipsilateral
- when right side of neck is stimulated y
Patellar stretch reflex is what kind of synapse?
monosynaptic
Reciprocal inhibition
multisynaptic
What neuron controls the motor cortex?
Upper motor nueron
What neuron controls the alpha neurom
Lower motor neuron
What neuron controls the gamma motor neuorn
Lower motor neuron
What happens when the alpha nuerons are damaged?
Flaccid paralysis, when alpha nuerons are damaged they cannot be stimulated and lose tone
What happens if the motor cortex is damaged?
Spastic paralysis would happen. the muscles under the control of motor neurons couldn’t function and perform movement directed by cerebral motor cortex
How else can somatic reflex arcs be categorized
- ipsilateral
- contralateral
- consensual
- bilateral
What do alpha motor neurons do?
they stimulate the extrafusal fibers of the skeletal muscle
biceps brachii tendon reflex
- biceps brachii contract and triceps are inhibited (antagonists)
- ipsilateral
Patellar reflex
- quadriceps femoris msucle are contracted and biceps femoris muscles were inhibited and they are ipsilateral
Achilles tendon reflex
- Gastrochemus muscle was stimulated and thats what made my toes contract
- msucles that are responsible for dorsiflexion were inhibited
- ipsilateral
Plantar reflex and babinski sign- normal
- adduction and plantar of the toes
