brainstem |
Produces automatic behaviors necessary for survival. |
|
|
cerebrum |
Executive suite. |
|
|
hypothalmus |
Visceral command center. |
|
|
plantar |
Tests both upper and lower motor pathways. The sole of the foot is stimulated with a dull instrument. |
|
|
crossed-extensor |
Consists of an ipsilateral withdrawal reflex and a contralateral extensor reflex; important in maintaining balance. |
|
|
flexor |
Produces a rapid withdrawal of the body part from a painful stimulus; ipsilateral. |
|
|
stretch |
Prevents muscle overstretching and maintains muscle tone. |
|
|
tendon |
Produces muscle relaxation and lengthening in response to tension; the contracting muscle relaxes as its antagonist is activated. |
