The stretch reflex in skeletal muscle is initiated because of nerve impulses arising from these receptors: - Muscle spindles - Golgi tendon organs - Mechanoreceptors - Joint kinesthetic receptors Which receptors would tell the brain that the elbow was fully extended but is now bending quickly? - Muscle spindles - Golgi tendon organs - Chemoreceptors - Joint kinesthetic receptors

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.
