read: The stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides...

Should actually read something like this (just an example): The tricep reflex is a reflex of the tricep muscles. Please rewrite the article so it conforms to...

it to contract. The muscle spindles are responsible for STRETCH REFLEX and not tendon reflex. Let's see what external sources say. Mikael Häggström (talk)...

diagram showing the classic "knee jerk" muscle stretch reflex incorrectly depicts a three-cell reflex arc with an interneuron in the spinal cord connecting...

length. To actually stretch the tissue past the elastic range and safely into a plastic range you have to inhibit the stretch reflex. Using neurological...

rewritten from scratch with benefit. why is there a description of the stretch reflex under muscle tone? Some explanation seems to be in order so as to not...

didnt go into more detail than that, but based on that my guess is the reflex is normally triggered by hypoxia/overheating (due to using up the available...

a "term". It goes on to yammer about Literature, lesions, neurons, stretch reflex, etc. Lots of details that belong somewhere else in the article. Not...

probably be found. The order is important due to the stretch reflex responses, how much a stretch strains a muscle, and the kind of blood flow or muscle...

fish, experience yawning.' -'A yawn is a reflex consisting of the simultaneous inhalation of air and the stretching of the eardrums, followed by an exhalation...

The less ground contact time you have between jumps, the greater the stretch reflex you create, therefore the greater plyometric effect."'' I think that...

then begins as hip flexion continues to the point of activation of the stretch reflex of the hip extensors. The knee begins to extend slightly as it swings...

(UTC) Including the mammalian diving reflex hyperlink as a potential cause is wrong. the mammalian diving reflex causes bradycardia and vasoconstriction...

rather than the muscle holding it there, it's just a complete lack of stretch reflex, and the limb simply doesn't fall because of gravity... ie, it's harder...

considered current diagnostic focus on H reflex of tibial nerve, preferring and recommending that <quote> "the H reflex of the peroneal nerve should be given...

correlation between muscle length and ankle joint angle, indicating that the stretch reflex is probably not the main contributor to postural stability. Additionally...

brain stem was assumed to detect this and would trigger the yawn reflex. The mouth stretches wide and the lungs inhaled deeply, causing oxygen into the lungs...

power, speed, and agility - only agility has anything to do with the stretch reflex yet this whole article seems to be focused around it). Guess I shouldn't...

below 55/20 (normal is at least 80/50). It's not a great stretch to assume that this is a reflex that would prevent fatal blood loss if a significant injury...

micturition reflex normally produces a series of contractions of the urinary bladder. Action potentials carried by sensory neurons from stretch receptors...
