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

Why is it ineffective to treat viral disease with antibiotics? Why is it ineffective to treat viral disease with antibiotics? Pa
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Antibiotics inhibit enzymes specific to bacteria and have no effect on virally encoded enzymes

Explanation:

The specificity of the antibiotics to inhibits some  bacterial enzymes is one of the major reasons why antibiotic do not affect viruses.In addition  antibiotics are designed to  have a significant  destructive  effects on  the mechanisms of biochemical reactions in bacteria and its  physiology, e,g on the cells walls,( inhibiting the formation of peptydoglycans) on certain organelles e,g ribisomes (inhibiting protein synthesis) and on the DNA(disrupting replication). The virus physiology is different from bacteria, therefore the design of antibiotics will nor affect these same mechanisms in viruses, thus no specificity for the antibiotic to act on in virus

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

A hybrid vehicle has components from both gas-powered and electric car. it has a gas engine and an electric motor. the exact way the two different engines drive the vehicle vary with different models. Other components of gas-powered car present include transmission and steering. But the braking system is usually similar to an electric car which is regenerative to recover the mechanical energy. The energy is stored in batteries just like an electric car.
