Muscles on one side of the joint have to relax in order for the muscles on the other side of the joint to contract. Example would be the quadriceps would have to relax and lengthen in order for the hamstrings to flex.

What is the sherrington's lawreciprocal inhibition?

Sherrington's law of reciprocal inhibition states that when a muscle contracts, the muscle on the opposite side of the joint relaxes. This helps to coordinate movements and maintain balance between agonist and antagonist muscles. It ensures smooth and efficient functioning of the neuromuscular system during movements.

Work out the reciprocal of 1.2?

To calculate the reciprocal of a number, you simply divide 1 by that number. So, to find the reciprocal of 1.2, you divide 1 by 1.2: Reciprocal of 1.2 = 1 / 1.2 Let's calculate it: Reciprocal of 1.2 = 0.8333333333333333 Therefore, the reciprocal of 1.2 is approximately 0.83333 (rounded to five decimal places).


Why does multiplying a reciprocal work in division fractions?

Because multiplication and division are inverse operations. And the reciprocal of a number is its multiplicative inverse.

Explain the process known as reciprocal inhibition?

Reciprocal inhibition is the process by which muscles on one side of a joint relax allowing for the muscles on the other side of the joint to contract. It is a coordinated pattern an example of which would be when hamstrings relax so that the quadriceps may contract while running/walking and this occurs over and over. Type Ia sensory afferent axons project via inhibitory interneurons to the antagonistic muscle group (hamstrings in the case of walking) therefore inhibiting the hamstrings as the quadriceps are excited and vice versa.
