Effector responds to impulse from motor neuron Monosynaptic Reflex Sensory (stretch) receptor Sensory neuron Spinal cord Effector organ Motor neuron Direct communication between sensory and motor neuron (e.g., stretch reflex) • Monosynaptic reflex is simplest • Sensory neuron synapses directly with motor neuron – ex. knee-jerk reflex Fig. 16.14 Stretch reflex • Knee-jerk response is a stretch reflex • Spindles in skeletal muscles monitor stretch • Response to stretch is to contract muscle • When patellar ligament is struck, quadriceps femoris lengthens quickly, causing reflexive contraction; foot kicks out motor nerve endings to extrafusal muscle fibers Intrafusal muscle fiber motor nerve endings to muscle spindle Muscle spindle Sensory nerve endings Polysynaptic Reflex Interneuron facilitates Sensory sensory-motor Spinal cord neuron communication (e.g., withdrawal reflex) • Polysynaptic reflexes include more neurons, more complex path – ex. pulling back from hot stove – ex. crossed-extensor reflex: supports postural muscles when you pull your foot back after stepping on a pin Sensory receptor Interneuron Motor neuron Effector organ
