Spinal Interneurons Inhibit Antagonist Motor Neurons in a Process Called

Question

Spinal interneurons inhibit antagonist motor neurons in a process called
A) a crossed extensor reflex.
B) a stretch reflex.
C) a tendon reflex.
D) reciprocal inhibition.
E) reverberating circuits.

Accepted Answer

Reciprocal inhibition is the process by which spinal interneurons inhibit antagonist motor neurons, allowing for smooth and coordinated movements. The other options listed do not involve this specific process.
