question What is the bobinsky reflex in here A potential
answers are Well as you may have guessed by the
first word of literally every single answer that babin steve
reflex deals with babies there are actually quite a few
of these baby reflexes probably because people love watching babies
even though they don't really do anything except with poop
and yelling stuff But hey if we wanted to watch
that we'd hang out with our great great grandfather Other
examples of newborn reflexes or primitive reflexes to use the
more formal title include route reflects suck reflex morro reflex
tonic neck reflex grasp reflex step reflex and a bowflex
max trainer m five well that last one isn't really
reflects Absolutely just making sure you're listening So which of
these is the bobinsky reflects well not sucking their thumbs

names suck reflects and actually babies will suck anything that
touches the roof of their mouth as well Any mammal

it's because they can't get their tongue depressors back from
patients It's also not answer d you might have thought
he was the grasp reflex we mentioned earlier but the
grasp reflex On ly deals with objects that stroke the

makes for some pretty awkward first dates that leaves answers
a b and c We can eliminate me because it's

from birth but human babies actually extend their arms and
legs wind startled and then cry a lot quick Psa
if you're going to start a one always choose the
armadillo so that leaves us with a and c cheeks
or feet which one screams bobinsky on The answer is
a named after the french neurologist josef bobinsky Bobinsky reflects
describes the way babies will spread their toes in response
to being stroked on the soul of their foot Looks
like angsty teenagers aren't the only ones who can appreciate
footloose maybe it's time for a little bobinsky bacon mash
