Question

While examining his knee jerk Suresh's doctor found that there was no response but Suresh informs that he could feel the tendon hammer touching his knee. Where is the problem likely to be?, Afferent pathway, Dorsal ganglion, Receptors, Efferent pathway

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Receptors, afferent fibers and dorsal root ganglion are all part of the sensory pathway. As Suresh could feel the touch of the hammer his sensory pathway is normal. He could not respond because the problem is with the motor pathway or the efferent pathway.
