Question 15 When a stretch reflex is elicited about the knee joint thereby activating the quadriceps muscle group what associated reflex behaviour prevents the antagonist hamstring muscle group from also expressing a stretch reflex. A) Inverse myotatic reflex B) Recurrent Inhibition Crossed extensor reflex (D) Flexor reflex Reciprocal Inhibition Question 16 Reflex response occurs but in antagonist muscle group A GP is neurologically assessing a patient. A stretch reflex is carried out in the biceps muscle group whilst the patient is relaxed and produces a modest reflex response. The GP then asks the patient to slightly contract their biceps so as to repeat the stretch reflex test. What will be the expected outcome? A Reflex response occurs but is smaller than before B Reflex response does not occur Reflex response occurs but is bigger than before (D) Reflex response occurs but is same as before L3-L4 Question 17 A patient presents in A&E with bruising to their back and difficulty in moving their right foot.
