The withdrawal reflex is a monosynaptic reflex arc.True ORFalse
The central junction of the reflex arc for the patellar reflex consists only of a synapse between the afferent and efferent neuron. Diagram such a reflex arc and label the five major components.
How one action potential triggers another; how the continuous conduction seen in unmyelinated nerve fibers result from a chain reaction of action potentials; and what normally prevents the signal from traveling backward to the neurosoma.
