3. Explain the relationship between the three factors that were used to measure the speed and effectiveness of the patellar reflex experiment. a. Mental distraction: b. Physical distraction: c. Fatigue: 4. Do you think the nervous system or muscle function is responsible for the changes you observed in the speed of the patellar reflex during physical fatigue? Explain your reasoning. 5. When exposed to light, did the pupils dilate, constrict, or remain the same? 6. Was the pupillary reflex response bilateral or unilateral? Why do you think this happened? 7. During the vestibular ocular reflex, was the eye movement response contralateral or ipsilateral to the head movement? Why do you think this happened? 8. Based on your observations, would you say vestibular ocular reflex is important to our daily life? What might someone experience if there is an abnormal or absent vestibular ocular reflex. 9. What is the difference between intrinsic and learned reflexes?

The three factors used to measure the speed and effectiveness of the patellar reflex experiment are mental distraction, physical distraction, and fatigue. Mental distraction refers to the level of attention or focus on the task at hand, physical distraction refers Show more…

Which reflexes are the fastest? 1) Achilles - medium, 2) Patellar - relaxed, 3) Quad Crossed extensor. Order them from fastest to slowest. Is the patellar reflex (relaxed) inhibited or enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps? Use reflex time. Is the patellar reflex (relaxed) inhibited or facilitated by the Jendrassik's Maneuver? Use reflex time. What might it mean if a subject is missing the reflex or has a slower than normal reflex? (Not a data question)
