how the axon splits into the axon (presynaptic) terminals and forms a synapse with te sarcolemma of the muscle fibers.
Both the withdrawal reflex and the Golgi tendon reflex involve sensory signals that ultimately control the same type ofmotor neurons and both are protective. Explain how one reflex can cause muscle contraction while the other causes musclerelaxation.

- Muscle Physiology Some skeletal muscle fibers are “fast-twitch” fibers (white fibers), and others are “slow-twitch” (red) fibers.

Is it possible for the muscle to respond with a supramaximal contraction? Explain Define a motor unit. Of what physiological advantage is a small motor unit arrangement in skeletal muscle?
