7 0

A reflex action is an instantaneous automatic reaction to a stimulus, typically a pain stimulus. The peripheral nervous system's elements carry out the action. In order for a person to be aware of what has happened, information is sent from the lower portions of the brain to the higher areas once the event is completed.

The reflex arc is the path that a nerve impulse takes when performing a reflex action. The reflex arc's elements are receptors, sensory neuron, inter neuron, motor neuron, effector organ.

Write about an experience, either real or imaginary using these words chemical energy, electric energy, kinetic energy, mechanic

mart [117]

Answer:

I stopped to think for a moment, and realized chemical energy is found in food. Then, I thought about how the other day when I saw lightning, that is an example of electric energy. Then I thought about how when throw a ball, that is a form of kinetic energy. The other day, when I was hammering a nail into a piece of wood, that was a form of mechanical energy. An example of nuclear energy would be the nuclear power plant by our house. Before my book fell off my table, this is an example of potential energy. The energy from the sun is an example of radiant energy. Volcanoes and earthquakes around the world are an example of seismic energy. Sound energy would be the balloon that I popped the other day. Thermal energy would be the heat I feel from the heater.

Which of the following statements is correct about the position of the foot and ankle complex during running movements?a. The fo

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

b. The foot and ankle should be pointing straight ahead in a dorsiflexed position when it hits the ground

Explanation:

Dorsiflexion is a movement in the ankle where the toes point in an upward direction allowing for correct foot strike if done properly at approx. 15 degrees. As you run, dorsiflexing your foot puts it in an ideal position to absorb the shock of the landing while simultaneously tensing your muscles to spring forward into the next stride which allows a reduced ground contact time per stride, allowing you to run faster and more efficiently.

If a runner has poor dorsiflexion they may experience a ‘loose’ or ‘floppy’ foot due to relaxation at the ankle joint which results in striking the ground through the toes which causes poor force distribution resulting in injuries such as shin splints and runner’s knee.
