Patellar Reflex

The medical exam done on Al Samuel is the "patellar reflex".

the patellar reflex is done with a small hammer that hits the patella and this generates an impulse in the neurons that will take this information to the spinal cord and that will respond through the neurons so that the muscle is stretched.

Thus, alternative "D" is the answer because it involves the muscular and nervous systems.
