Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monosynaptic reflexes involve a single synapse between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron, resulting in a quick and stereotyped response. The stretch reflex, where tapping a tendon causes contraction of the associated muscle, is an example of a monosynaptic reflex. They are not among the most complex reflex arcs and do not necessarily control slow motor responses.
