KROK 1 2009 – Question 150 · 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. Articular
- B. Nociceptors
- C. Tactile
- D. Muscle spindles
- E. Golgi tendon organs
Hint
Ask which sensory endings detect stretch of the muscle itself and drive a monosynaptic reflex contraction of that same muscle.
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.
