________ Reflex Has at Least One Interneuron Placed Between the Sensory

Question

________ reflex has at least one interneuron placed between the sensory and motor neurons.
A) monosynaptic
B) ipsilateral
C) contralateral
D) involuntary
E) polysynaptic

Accepted Answer

A polysynaptic reflex has at least one interneuron placed between the sensory and motor neurons. This means that there are multiple synapses, or connections, between neurons involved in the reflex pathway. Other types of reflexes include monosynaptic reflexes, which involve just one synapse between a sensory and motor neuron, and ipsilateral and contralateral reflexes, which refer to whether the reflex occurs on the same or opposite side of the body as the stimulus. Involuntary reflexes are those that occur automatically and do not require conscious control.
