Question

What does the patellar reflex employ?

Answer 1

here is your answer

The Myotatic Reflex Is a MonoSynaptic Reflex Between Ia Afferents and the α Motor Neuron. The myotatic reflex is the “knee-jer k” reflex in which a muscle contracts in direct response to its stretch. It is typically elicited by tapping on the tendon of a muscle, which deforms the.. tendon and stretches the muscle.

hope you understand....

Answer 2

The patellar reflex is a clinical and classic example of the monosynapticreflex arc. There is no interneuron in the pathway leading to contraction of the quadriceps muscle. Instead, the bipolar sensory neuron synapses directly on a motor neuron in the spinal cord.
