Q

Describe the afferent input, central connection, and efferent output of the patellar reflex.

A

Afferent input: the sensory receptor in the quadriceps muscle sends a signal along the afferent neuron to the spinal cord
Central connection: the signal synapses at the level of L3 and L4 in the spinal cord
Efferent output: an alpha motor neuron conducts efferent impulse back to the quadriceps femoris muscle, triggering contraction. Contraction causes the leg to kick.
