'contralateral' means 'the other side'. So, if I'm talking about your right shoulder, the left is the contralateral. If I'm talking about your left shoulder, the right is the contralateral.
The patellar reflex is ipsilateral. If the stimulus is applied to left knee cap, the left knee responds. On the other hand, if the right knee were to respond to a left knee stimulus, the response would be considered contralateral.
Yes, babies are born with certain reflexes that help them survive and develop. These reflexes, such as the rooting and sucking reflexes, are automatic responses to stimuli that are essential for early development. Over time, these reflexes typically fade as voluntary control of movements develops.
The two functional classifications of reflexes are autonomic reflexes, which regulate activities of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and somatic reflexes, which involve skeletal muscles. Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.
Contralateral control refers to the process by which one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. This is due to the crossing over of nerve pathways in the brain, with the left side of the brain controlling the right side of the body and vice versa. Contralateral control allows for organized and coordinated movement and sensory processing.

'contralateral' means 'the other side'. So, if I'm talking about your right shoulder, the left is the contralateral. If I'm talking about your left shoulder, the right is the contralateral.
if you don't have reflexes,you can't move because your body like a rock and a reflexes.
No the gallbladder is superior to the appendix. Contralateral only applies if they were to be opposite ends of each other i.e. the right arm is contralateral to the left leg.
The opposite of ipsilateral is contralateral, which refers to structures or functions on opposite sides of the body or brain.
Yes
A contralateral motor pathway is a neutral pathway located at the opposite side of the brain. It is on the eighth nerve of the cochlear nucleus.
There area few reflexes when coming to a newborn. The main reflex would be the central nervous system.
True
It is the opposite side of the body
The patellar reflex is ipsilateral. If the stimulus is applied to left knee cap, the left knee responds. On the other hand, if the right knee were to respond to a left knee stimulus, the response would be considered contralateral.
Contralateral neglect is a disturbance of the patient's ability to respond to stimuli on the side of the body opposite (contralateral) to the side of brain lesion, in the absence of simple sensory or motor deficits. Patients with contralateral neglect often behave as though the left side of their world does not exist and they often fail to appreciate that they have a problem. The disturbance is often associated with large lesions of the right posterior parietal lobe. In one example, Mrs. T acquired contralateral neglect following a massive stroke in the posterior portion of her right hemisphere.
