What else can I help you with?
Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a type of stretch reflex, which is a type of spinal reflex. It involves the stimulation of sensory neurons in the muscle spindles of the quadriceps muscle, leading to a quick contraction of the muscle in response to a sudden stretch.
what type of reflex is the knee?
The knee reflex is also called the knee-jerk reflex by tapping the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer. This sends sensory information to the spinal cord at L4 and motor information back to the Quadriceps in the thigh (relaxing the hamstrings). This is reflex requires only two neurons. No interneuron. And so is very rapid. It is important in balance and posture.
The patellar reflex is a type of?
The patellar reflex is a type of stretch reflex that involves tapping the patellar tendon to elicit a contraction of the quadriceps muscle and extension of the knee. This reflex helps to maintain balance and stability.
What type of neurons are multipolar?
Motor neurons and intern neurons
What type is knee?
Can you get a type of knee!!!?
What type of tissue are neurons?
Neurons are Nervous Tissue.
What type of reflex does not involve the brain?
A spinal reflex does not involve the brain. This type of reflex is controlled by the spinal cord and does not require the brain to initiate a response. Examples include the knee-jerk reflex and the withdrawal reflex.
Which type of neurons are sensory neurons?
Sensory neurons traveling through the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) are pseudounipolar neurons.
What is the major cell type in cortical areas?
The major cell type in cortical areas is the pyramidal neuron. These neurons have a triangular cell body and are characterized by an apical dendrite that extends towards the cortical surface. Pyramidal neurons are involved in information processing and communication within the brain.
What type of tissue contains cells called neurons?
No. Neurons are an example of a type of tissue.
What type of nervous tissue that conducts a nerve impulse?
Neurons
Which type of neurons impulses from sense organs to the spinal or brain?
Sensory neurons
