During a withdrawal reflex of the foot, what happens to the limb on the side opposite the stimulus? What is this response called? In the patellar reflex, identify the response observed and the effectors involved. What type of postsynaptic potential would be more likely to promote an action potential - an IPSP or an EPSP? Explain.

The flexor (withdrawal) reflex is an intersegmental reflex because it A. involves reciprocal innervation B. is a contralateral reflex C. can occur in any region of the spinal cord. D. does not involve interneurons. E. involves one sensory neuron activating interneurons in different segments of the spinal cord.
