hits ur knee cap and all the nerves shoot down ur leg and back up and makes ur leg jump or shoot out since it is the easiest way for ur joint to move (extending ur leg)

He is hitting a nerve in your knee, and your only reaction is to kick.

depends on your reflexes, nerves will send a signal to the brain to react, causing the kick

it shows that you have feeling in you leg, foot or elbow. they have spots that the nerve is close to the top and hit. it jerks and show that you have feeling in your body
