Reflexes Lab

In this Lab we were testing the reactions of our body in different situations. During the readings I was learning a lot but when you really experience it you realize easier how our body works. A reflex is the reaction that our body does for try to decrease our danger, your pupil dilates depending the light that you need in each moment or the eyes closed when something is going to go into them.
The Photopupillary Reflex  help to control the amount of light that our eyes need, so when you are in a dark place and a light comes to your eye, the pupil change so you receive the right amount of light.
The Knee Jerk Reflex is controlled by mechanoreceptors that help us when we need to react to some situation by moving our body and the muscles fast.
The Blink Reflex help us to avoid getting anything into our eyes.
Babe, what's your sign? is the test of the foot from the sole of it to the heel helps to check the working of the nervous system and to detect any future disease.
How Fast are You? is a test where you need to catch a ruler and depending the distance it tells you how fast does your body react in current situations, after we made the same test while texting and this tries to show that our brain works slower when it needs to send several information at the same time. When I was waiting for the ruler my reaction was of 0.2 seconds but while I was texting it almost duplicate, this show as why they say that we should not drive while been distracted with the phone.
