Chapter 13, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To list: The three different types of sensory receptors which carry the information for the muscle reflexes.
Introduction: The sensory receptors are the dendrite of neurons which receives specific types of stimuli or information from the environment. The sensory receptors receive the information and transmit it to the brain in the forms of nerve impulses.
