Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The brachioradialis reflex is initiated by striking the forearm just above the wrist. The biceps reflex is initiated by striking the biceps tendon, while the triceps reflex is initiated by striking just above the olecranon process. The Achilles reflex is initiated by dorsiflexion of the foot and striking the Achilles tendon.
