|
Term
|
Definition
Muscles contract because of stretching force applied to them. |
|
|
Term
Steps in Stretching Reflex |
|
Definition
1. Muscle spindle detects stretch of the muscle.
2. Sensory neurons conduct A.P. to spinal cord.
3. Sensory neurons synapse directly with alpha motor neurons.
4. Stimulation of alpha motor neurons causes the muscle to contract/resist being stretched. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Relaxes muscle when excessive stretching occurs, protecting tendons. |
|
|
Term
Steps in Golgi Tendon Reflex |
|
Definition
1. Golgi tendon organs detect tension applied to tendon.
2. Sensory neurons conduct A.P. to spinal cord.
3. Sensory neurons synapse with inhibitory interneurons that synapse with alpha motor neurons.
4. Inhibition of the alpha motor neurons causes muscle relaxation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Moves a limb in response to pain. |
|
|
Term
Steps in Withdrawal Reflex |
|
Definition
1. Pain receptors detect stimulus.
2. Sensory neurons conduct A.P. to spinal cord.
3. Sensory neurons synapse with excitatory interneurons that synapse with alpha motor neurons.
4. Excitation of alpha motor neurons results in contraction of the flexor muscles and withdrawal of the limb. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Causes relaxation of extensor muscle when flexor muscle contracts. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
