Q

Flexor withdrawal reflex

  • Weeks of Gestation at which Reflex Appears
  • When reflex integrates after birth
  • Stimulus
  • Response
Study These Flashcards
A
  • Weeks of Gestation at which Reflex Appears: 28
  • When reflex integrates after birth: 1-2 months
  • Stimulus: Noxious stimulus to sole of foot
  • Response: Flexion withdrawal of leg

I think this reflex was most important to determine if it is absent?? Since we have some of this as adults as well. So most problematic if not present.

50
What does STNR stand for?
Symmetrical tonic neck reflex
51
What is something to note about the times we learned for when the reflexes integrate?
A weaker reflex response to the stimulus might generally occur for a few more months (so it is normal for there to be weak signs of it for a few more months after the time we learned).
