Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.During a withdrawal reflex response, flexor muscles contract to withdraw the limb from a painful stimulus. Some interneurons of this reflex arc inhibit antagonistic extensor muscles which is an example of innervation.

During a withdrawal reflex response, flexor muscles contract to withdraw the limb from the painful stimulus. The interneurons of this reflex arc also INHIBIT antagonistic extensor muscles. What is this process called?Multiple choice question.crossed extensionreciprocal innervationstretch response

In a withdrawal reflex, flexor muscles on the affected side of the body contract. Simultaneously, a ______ reflex is initiated which causes the contralateral extensor muscles to contract in order to help maintain balance.Multiple choice question.crossed extensorjerkstretchreciprocal

Activation of a sensory nerve from the muscle spindle causedcontraction of the extensor muscle and relaxation of the flexormuscle. The relaxation of the flexor muscle is an example ofA. negative feedback inhibition.B. postsynaptic inhibition.C. Renshaw cell-mediated inhibition.D. presynaptic inhibition.E. indirect inhibition

What is the function of the withdrawal reflex?Multiple choice question.to maintain posture and balanceto enhance the strength of a purposeful movementto protect tissues from further injury

Explain how the antagonist muscle is inhibited in reciprocal innervation.
