KROK 1 2011 – Question 122 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
During an experiment the myotatic reflex has been studied in frogs. After extension in a skeletal muscle its reflectory contraction was absent. The reason for it might be a dysfunction of the following receptors:
- A. Tactile
- B. Muscle spindles
- C. Articular
- D. Nociceptors
- E. Golgi tendon organs
Hint
Trace the reflex arc from its afferent limb: which receptor is stimulated first when a muscle is stretched?
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
