Question
Students are celebrating the end of the year and have gotten together for a few ice-old Pepsi’s. Sarvesh holds out his mug for a refill and when Nicole starts to pour soda in, the mug slips down slightly but Sarvesh quickly recovers to prevent his mug from spilling. Which of the following does NOT occur in this reflex circuit?
Group of answer choices
The added load of the soda stretches the intrafusal muscle fibers of the bicep
Sensory neurons from the muscle spindle synapse onto α motor neurons and interneurons
The rate of action potential firing increases in the muscle spindle fiber
Excitation of motor neurons innervating the bicep muscle
All of the above *do* occur

Check this reflex in a classmate by using the blunt metal end of a reflex hammer and gently stroking the sole of the foot from the heel, distal on the lateral aspect of the forefoot then curving towards the hallux.

Notably, some researchers have noted a delay in the reflex response after muscle fatigue. With your understanding of the stretch reflex, which of the following is the most logical contributing factor to the injury? a. the distraction of the game causes inhibitory impulses to be sent down from the somatosensory cortex, so muscles are not operating at full capacity b. the proprioceptors adapt and become less sensitive c. there is an increase in time to muscle contraction after triggering a reflexarrow_forward
