Reciprocal inhibition allows for the relaxation of a muscle on one side of a joint to accommodate the contraction of a muscle on the other side of a joint. True False

Explain how the antagonist muscle is inhibited in reciprocal innervation.

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

Explain how antagonistic muscles allow movement around the elbow joint

If reciprocal innervation failed during a stretch reflex, the consequence might be thatMultiple Choicethe overall movement would be diminished due to opposing muscles contracting simultaneously.the overall movement would be exaggerated due to the lack of regulation from opposing muscle contraction.the complete loss of movement due to lack of stimulation of the effector muscle.

Which of the following is INCORRECT about the "reverse myotatic reflex"?Group of answer choicesit causes inhibition of alpha motor neurons to the affected muscleit is triggered by excitation of Golgi tendon organ afferentsit involves activation of a spinal interneuronit is not a monosynaptic pathwayit is activated primarily by changes in muscle length
