Q

Function of flexor reflex?

A

Protective withdrawal mechanism to remove body part from harmful stimuli

17
Q

Crossed extension reflex stimulus

A

Noxious stimuli and reciprocal action of antagonist (Flexors on one side excited, so extensors inhibit and opposite on other side)

18
Q

Reflex arc of crossed extension reflex

A

Cutaneous and muscle receptors meet sC motor neurons

19
Q

Crossed extension reflex mono or polysynaptic?

A

Polysnaptic

20
Q

Which reflex controls gait?

A

Crossed extension
