  • Q1
    Which of the following is true regarding myotatic reflexes?
    Stretch in a muscle causes a reflex contraction of the opposing muscle group
    Opposing muscle groups contract in the same time, causing the muscle spindle organ to initiate a quick relaxation of the antagonist muscle group.
    Muscle spindle output causes a reflex contraction of the same muscle that is lengthened.
    Nociceptive input results in a quick withdrawal from the stimulus.
