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.
