Chapter 14.6, Problem 24WDYL
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The major difference between a monosynaptic and a polysynaptic reflex.
Concept introduction:
Reflex is activated due to the generation of action potential in the neurons after the activation of impulse by the stimulus on the nerve endings.
