        Help!  

Question
Answer
basic unit of motor activity   single motor neuron + all the muscle it synapses on  
🗑
Lower Motor Neuron   cell body in spinal cord or in brainstemaxon terminates on musclesactively innervates muscle  
🗑
Upper Motor Neuron   cell body in brainstem or cotexsynapses on lower motor neuronfine tunes lower motor neuron  
🗑
Reflex Arc   receptor, afferent sensory neuron, efferent motor neuron, effector  
🗑
muscle spindle   monitors muscle length and rate of change, organized in parallel with extrafusal muscle fibers  
🗑
Golgi Tendon Organ   monitors muscle tension, organized in series with extrafusal muscle fibers  
🗑
Myostatic reflex basic info   simplest reflex, monosynaptic reflex between muscle spindle and motor neuron, stretch  
🗑
Myotatic reflex   contraction/excitation of agonist muscle, relaxation/inhibition of antagonist muscle, comes back to muscle that started sensory, interneuron inhibits antagonist muscle  
🗑
Patellar reflex test   stretch reflex, maintain posture  
🗑
Inverse myotatic reflex   lengthening, disynaptic reflex between GTO and motor neuron, interneuron inhibits agonist muscle, protects against muscle damage during extreme muscle exertion  
🗑
The withdrawal (flexor) refles is initiated by?   noxious stimuli  
🗑
A Single Stimulus causes   activation of hip and leg flexors, activation on the opposite side to shift weight to that leg  
🗑
