The flexor (withdrawal) reflex Has a monosynaptic component Is initiated by stretching muscle spindle fibers Is initiated by stimulation of the Golgi tendon organ Stimulates contraction of the ipsilateral flexor muscle and inhibits contraction of the ipsilateral extensor muscle Both has a monosynaptic component and is initiated by stretching muscle spindle fibers are correct

Reflexes Drag each label into the appropriate category to designate which reflex is described by the following terms or structures: Stretch reflex Tendon organs are the receptors. Marked by removal of the body segment from injurious element. Excitation of extensors and inhibition of flexors. Initiated by excessive force in the tendon. Involves ipsilateral excitation of agonists and inhibition of antagonists. Muscle spindles are the receptors. Marked by actions to stabilize the limb opposite of injurious agents. Flexor reflex. Crossed-extensor reflex. Tendon reflex. Involves contralateral excitation of extensors and inhibition of flexors.
