Definition Reflex tests are simple physical tests of nervous system function. Purpose A reflex is a simple nerve circuit. A stimulus‚ such as a light tap with a rubber hammer‚ causes sensory neurons (nerve cells) to send signals to the spinal cord. There‚ the signals are conveyed both to the brainand to nerves that control muscles affected by the stimulus. Without any brain intervention‚ these muscles may respond to an appropriate stimulus by contracting. Reflex tests measure the presence and

The Skeletal System The skeletal system is made up of bones‚ the joints where bones meet‚ and the connective tissues called cartilages that hold the bones together. The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones‚ and can be divided up into to two parts‚ the Axial Skeleton and the Appendicular Skeleton. (Adams et al.‚ pg. 4)(Boundless‚ 2013) Axial Skeleton The axial skeleton forms the main axis or core of the skeletal system. It consists of the skull‚ vertebral column‚ and thoracic cage. As noted by

TWO TYPES OF CONDITIONED REFLEX : A REPLY TO KONORSKI AND MILLER B.F. Skinner (1937) First published in Journal of General Psychology‚ 16‚ 272-279. Before considering the specific objections raised by Konorski and Miller(4) against my formulation of a second type of conditioned reflex‚ I should like to give a more fundamental characterization of both types and of the discriminations based upon them. Let conditioning be defined as a kind of change in reflex strength where the operation
