5. Identify the kind of neuronal pool based on the information provided.

b. Input neuron stimulates several pathways which stimulate the output neuron to go on firing for a longer time after input has truly stopped. 
c. On presynaptic neuron synapses on 2 or 3 postsynaptic neurons and these postsynaptic neurons (now presynaptic ) synapse on another 2 or 3 postsynaptic neurons.
d. Neurons stimulate each other in a linear sequence but one cell restimulates the first cell (presynaptic neuron) to start the process all over again. 
e. This neuron pool is common in the withdrawal reflex.
