Primitive reflexes

Primitive Behavioral Genetics Primitive behavioral genetics is the thought that some behaviors of humans are instinctual and are inherited without having any prior experience to base reactions, feelings or thought processes on. These innate behaviors can be closely related to reflexes because it exists within and are predetermined (The Definition of Behavioral Genetics, 2016). Although the theory of primitive behavioral genetics cannot be tested to prove the accuracy and influence, there are…

Cerebral palsy is a developmental condition that refers to a group of disorders rather than a single entity. It affects a persons’ musculature, including movement and postural abilities. This condition is due to cerebral damage while the brain is still in the developmental stage, thus occurring in utero, during or shortly after birth. Brain damage that results in cerebral palsy can occur in several ways and plays a role in the extent of the condition. Therefore, each case will be different…

represents a particular phylum. Briefly describe its features characteristic of its phylum including morphology, embryology, and physiology. Identify adaptations of your animal compared with other animals. If you chose a more primitive animal, identify adaptations compared with more primitive organisms outside of the animal kingdom. Characteristic of the Common Snapping Turtle’s Phylum The common snapping turtles Latin nomenclature is the Chelydra serpentina.…

This stage marks the beginning of primitive mental reasoning, and is broken down into two substages called: The Symbolic Function Substage (Ages 2-4) and The Intuitive Thought Substage. The Symbolic Function Substage (4-7). During the symbolic function sub stage children are able to represent…

Hers hands are still fisted and arms are flexed; and holds a tight palmar hand grasp. Luna is displaying primitive reflexes. When positioned in a pull-to-sit position, or placing, Luna is unable to perform the skill, yet, but appears to be developing normally and within age-appropriate development. The weight of the head weight is yielding the development temporary…

The human body is somewhat of an enigma to me. Learning more about its complexity has allowed me to establish why current advances have improved sanitation, fitness and longevity from a contrasting world that existed centuries ago. In turn, and after much thought, I have yet to find a more fulfilling vocation than to help the future wellbeing of humanity through an enriched understanding of the human body. Shadowing a Cardiothoracic Surgeon was my first insight into a doctor’s daily routine,…

survive for a period of years. They will develop rigidity on their joints including wrists.Contractures of the elbow, wrists and fingers this will often cause them pain if they try to move. They will begin to show the return of infant reflexes that are more primitive. The patient may…

located within the brainstem and forms the base of the midbrain.The tegmentum consists of the reticular formation, periaqueductal grey matter, and the red nucleus. The reticular formation is involved in sleep, arousal, attention, and other basic reflexes. The periaqueductal grey matter controls instinct movements such as fighting and mating. The red nucleus helps with motor coordination. The tegmentum, altogether controls motor functions, regulates awareness and attention, and regulates a few…

Writing Assignment 3 Have you ever wondered what exactly goes through an infant's brain, or how their brain is developed? There is one man who claims to know the answer. Piaget's theory states that just as our physical bodies have structures that enable us to adapt to the world, we also build mental structures that help us adapt. To explain his idea, he developed a process that includes 4 stages. These stages are the sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operational stage, and the…

sensorimotor stage lasts from birth-2 years old. During this stage, infants make sense of the world by physical and mortric actions. Infants do not have a lot of reflective patterns to work with. The sensorimotor stage is divided into six substages: simple reflexes, first habits and primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of secondary circular reactions, tertiary circular reactions, novelty, and curiosity, and internalization of schemes. Object permanence is the…
