Option D. Only II and III.(THE KNEE AND THE SPINAL CORD)

What is the patellar tendon reflex?

  • The patellar tendon reflex refers to a kicking-like motion produced by the extension of the knee joint upon the ipsilateral stimulation of the patellar tendon.
  • The reflex is thought to play a role in maintaining balance
  • Striking of the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer just below the patella stretches the muscle spindle in the quadriceps muscle.

What is pathology?

  • Pathology is the medical discipline that provides diagnostic information to patients and clinicians.
  • It impacts nearly all aspects of patient care, from diagnosing cancer to managing chronic diseases through accurate laboratory testing.
  • The sharp tap on the tendon slightly stretches the quadriceps, the complex of muscles at the front of the upper leg
  • In reaction these muscles contract, and the contraction tends to straighten the leg in a kicking motion.
  • Exaggeration or absence of the reaction suggests that there may be damage to the central nervous system

Bess [88]

Answer:

<u><em>This is because the enzymes might work best at higher temperature than 37 degrees Celsius. Increase in temperature will increase the catalysis of the reaction.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>When the temperature is increased, the molecules possess greater kinetic energy. This will allow more substrate and enzymes to collide. As a result, there will be more enzymes taking place in the reaction which will cause the rate of the reaction to increase.</em>

<em></em>

However, if the temperature goes too high, then the shape of the active site of the enzymes will get changed. The enzyme will deactivate and the reaction will stop.
