| Golgi tendon organ afferent fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in tendon; dampens excessive tension; glycinergic interneurons; requires more tension than myotactic reflex; crossed extensor component |
|
|
Term
| GTO crossed extensor component |
|
Definition
| cause extension of antagonist via |
|
|
Term
| GTO inhibits and stimulates what? |
|
Definition
| inhibits alpha motor neuron of homonomynous muscle and stimulates alpha motor neuron of antagonist muscle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ipsilateral flexion, contralateral extension; remove limb from danger/maintain balance; stimulus is usually pain or potential pain; non-linear and requires adequate stimulus |

|
Definition
| ipsilateral extension; opposite of FWR |
|
|
Term
| what does divergence function to do? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| site of stimulation which determines final limb positon in FWR; outside versus inside of foot |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| preempt all other muscle activity; FWR is prepotent |

Term
|
Definition
| integration of coughing sneezing and gagging; CN 5,9,10 usually; efferent fibers are mostly somatic |
|

Term
|
Definition
| secrete glutamate to excites interneurons; 1 single fiber can excite all alpha motor neurons of muscle neuron pool |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in presynaptic terminal and adjacent glial cells and vesicles for the reuptake of glycine |
|
|
Term
| circuits can be dismantled without growth factors maintaining them |
|
Definition
| e. GDNF: glial cell growth factors keep dopamine secreting neurons alive in brain |

|
Definition
| 1 b fiber from GTO stimulates two interneurons... 1 to inhibit homonymous and synergist muscle via glycine and 1 to stimulate antagonist muscle via glutamate |
