Question
Chapter 16, Problem 12WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The main difference between polysynaptic reflex and monosynaptic reflex.
Introduction:
A reflex action is a type of involuntary response action that takes place against particular stimuli. The reflex occurs through a neural pathway, called the reflex arc. There are two types of skeletal muscle reflexes, one is monosynaptic and the other is the polysynaptic reflex.
