Question
16. A tap on the patellar tendon at the knee joint is used to test the knee-jerk reflex. All of the followings are incorrect, except ---------------------.
A. This reflex involves relatively simple neuronal circuits
B. The reflex starts with the 1a sensory neurons of the muscle tendon
C. There is an inhibitory stimulus to the motor pool of the extensor muscle D. There is a stimulation of the excitatory interneuron of the flexor muscle
E. Excitation of the flexor muscle fibers causes the knee extension
