Question
Chapter 12.2, Problem 9AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The differences between a stretch reflex and a Golgi tendon reflex and the sensory receptors for each.
Introduction:
An automatic response to a stimulus without conscious thought is called a reflex. Reflexes can vary in their complexity. Reflexes are integrated within the spinal cord or the brain. Some reflexes involve excitatory neurons, while some involve inhibitory neurons based on the stimuli.
