Detailed explanation-1: -The neurons that carry these messages to the muscles are called motor neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crossed Extensor Reflex The reflex occurs when the flexors in the withdrawing limb contract and the extensors relax, while in the other limb, the opposite occurs. An example of this is when a person steps on a nail, the leg that is stepping on the nail pulls away, while the other leg takes the weight of the whole body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The reflex shown in this figure is called a 3-neuron reflex because it requires three types of neurons: a sensory, an interneuron, and a motor neuron. It is also called a withdrawal reflex because it is commonly involved in withdrawing from painful stimuli.
Detailed explanation-4: -Due to touching the plate, an impulse is registered from our sensory organs to our Sensory Neurons. From there, the impulse travels to the Central Nervous System (Spinal Cord), where the appropriate action takes place. After that, the impulse is transferred back to the muscle, using the motor neuron.
