Yes, the stretch reflex involves a simple monosynaptic pathway between sensory neurons and motor neurons without the involvement of interneurons in the spinal cord.
The withdrawal reflex, like pulling your hand away from a hot object, requires an interneuron to relay signals between the sensory neuron detecting the stimulus and the motor neuron controlling the response.
It is a disynaptic reflex
The withdrawal reflex, such as the withdrawal of a hand from a hot stove, involves at least one interneuron placed between the sensory neuron carrying the pain signal and the motor neuron causing the muscle to move away from the source of the pain.
A monosynaptic reflex arc does not require an interneuron. In this type of reflex arc, the sensory neuron communicates directly with the motor neuron in the spinal cord or brainstem, resulting in a quick and simple reflex response.
A two-neuron reflex typically involves a sensory neuron carrying information from a sensory receptor to the spinal cord, where it synapses with an interneuron. The interneuron then synapses with a motor neuron that carries the response signal to an effector organ, such as a muscle or gland. In this pathway, a third neuron would not typically be involved in a two-neuron reflex.
Withdrawal reflex or flexor reflex employs sensory neuron, interneuron and motor neuron.
differentiate between a dynamic stretch reflex and a static stretch reflex
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.
only the Interneuron
The withdrawal reflex, like pulling your hand away from a hot object, requires an interneuron to relay signals between the sensory neuron detecting the stimulus and the motor neuron controlling the response.
It is a disynaptic 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.
The withdrawal reflex, such as the withdrawal of a hand from a hot stove, involves at least one interneuron placed between the sensory neuron carrying the pain signal and the motor neuron causing the muscle to move away from the source of the pain.
interneuron
In a typical reflex arc, the 3 kinds are: # sensory # interneuron # and motor.
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
Yes, you may still have a stretch reflex with a cervical nerve injury.
