Match the following reflexes to their function:
A) Plantar
B) Crossed-extensor
C) Flexor
D) Stretch
E) Golgi tendon
1) Tests both upper and lower motor pathways. The sole of the foot is stimulated with a dull instrument.
2) Consists of an ipsilateral withdrawal reflex and a contralateral extensor reflex; important
in maintaining balance.
3) Produces a rapid withdrawal of the body part from a painful stimulus; ipsilateral.
4) Prevents muscle overstretching and maintains muscle tone.
5) Produces muscle relaxation and lengthening in response to tension; the contracting muscle
relaxes as its antagonist is activated.
1) A Plantar
2) B Crossed-extensor
3) C Flexor
4) D Stretch
5) E Golgi tendon
