Reflex

Chapter No. Muscle Reflex My palms became sweaty as my core body temperature rose. As I looked at him and questioned why these other options had not been considered, his body language spoke volumes; his head sunk forward, his hands were clasped between his knees and he looked down at his feet as his shoulders arched into a closed, protective and submissive stance in his faux leather office chair. I suggested we go to one of the meeting rooms to discuss the issue in detail. The impact of his…

The Palmar Grasp Reflex is essential to my skill, jump roping. This reflex appears at birth and is stimulated by touch to the palm of the hand. As a response the child does a flexion grasp that does not include the thumb. This contributes to my skill because it prepares for voluntary grasping. During the Fundamental Patterns Period a child becomes “skillful” at grasping. When jump roping one has to be able to the jump rope firmly while turning it over the head. This reflex contributed to my…

Moro reflex, Rooting reflex, Babinski reflex, and the Stepping reflex. The Moro reflex is also known as the startle reflex. When the baby’s position or head support is suddenly changed, a baby should demonstrate arching of the back, followed by the arms and legs quickly being flung out then brought back centrally. The Moro reflex can also be elicited when the baby hears a loud sound, bumping the baby’s crib, or jerking the baby’s blanket that may suddenly startle the baby. The rooting reflex is…

The knee-jerk reflex is considered a stretch reflex and is often used by physicians to test how the nervous system is functioning. The knee-jerk reflex is tested by tapping the patellar tendon with the base of a rubber hammer. This results in the leg and foot extending upward in healthy individuals. The reflex is a response to the change in shape of the patellar tendon and quadriceps muscle. It does so to prevent damage to the muscle and ultimately the maintain homeostasis. There are a series…

The sucking reflex is presented even before birth. A baby may be seen with their thumbs in their mouth in ultrasound pictures. In time, a baby's sucking reflex harmonizes with the child's breathing and swallowing. This reflex is very important because as the brain rapidly develops it needs nutrients. If the child does not demonstrate this reflex this may be harmful not only because he/she will not eat healthy foods but the infant will ultimately struggle with gaining weight and eating food in…

The baby’s tone should be assessed by suspending the infant in a ventral position. In a baby with normal tone, the back should show some resistance to gravity. The last is the baby’s reflexes. These include the plantar reflex, rooting or sucking reflex, Moro reflex, Galant Reflex as well as the grasp…

as a semiautomatic precision rifle (SAPR) capable of engaging targets in close quarters (CQB) out to 600 yards with the 5.56 cartridge, not an easy task. I needed an optic that allowed me to keep both eyes open like an EOTech, Aimpoint, or Trijicon reflex sight, but also allowed for reasonably precise shot placement on threats at greater distances. The optic must be tough as nails, simple to use, affordable, and above all else, reliable. Enter the Burris MTAC 1-4x24mm rifle scope. Overview Make…

1)Production & Values: This photography was taken in New York, 1999. Maier took this image using a film camera in black and white. Her Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera is different from a normal SLR camera, as it has different viewfinder system, and enables Maier to view from above at her waist level, which provides the street photograph to be nature. Documentary photography is difficult to set up the camera with the shortage time, especially, the film camera that it takes longer than a…
