The stretch reflex is important for regulating muscle length. This reflex causes muscle contraction in response to stretching of the muscle, helping to maintain muscle tone and prevent over-stretching or injury. The other reflexes listed (crossed extensor, flexor, tendon) have different functions and do not directly regulate muscle length.
