Below are given the steps of the patellar reflex arc.What is the correct order of events from the time the hammer taps the patellar ligament to the knee jerk response? 1)The leg extends at the knee.
2)Sensory neurons conduct the action potentials to the spinal cord.
3)Motor neurons are stimulated and generate an action potential.
4)Sensory neurons synapse with motor neurons in the spinal cord.
5)The AP travels to the quadriceps femoris and cause it to contract.
6)Sensory receptors in the muscle detect the stretch of the tendon and muscles.
