- Aa spinal motor neuron
- Ba sensory interneuron
- Ca pyramidal motor neuron
- Dthe muscle fibres that it innervates.

23A muscle is typically innervated by [blank_start]a few hundred[blank_end] spinal motor neurons.

24The [blank_start]innervation number[blank_end] tells how many muscle fibres a motor neuron innervates.

25The innervation number
- Aindicates the increment in force when the motor unit is activated.
- Bcan be very different for the same muscle.

26The muscle force is controlled by

- Cthe innervation number of the motor unit
- Dthe axon diameter of the motor neuron
27Motor units differ in [blank_start]speed[blank_end] and maximum [blank_start]force[blank_end].

28Recruitment:
[blank_start]Small[blank_end] motor neurons are recruited first because of the [blank_start]high[blank_end] resistance within their axon.
They have a [blank_start]lower[blank_end] innervation number and therefore produce [blank_start]less[blank_end] force.- ASmall

- Chigh
- Dlow
- Elower

29Spinal reflexes are [blank_start]involuntary[blank_end] and triggered by [blank_start]external stimuli[blank_end].
Despite classical theory they can be quite flexible.- Ainvoluntary
- Bexternal stimuli
30The withdrawal from a painful stimulus is called [blank_start]flexion-withdrawal[blank_end] reflex.
The [blank_start]flexor[blank_end] muscle is activated and the [blank_start]extensor[blank_end] muscle is inhibited.
This is called [blank_start]reciprocal innervation[blank_end].
The opposite effect happens on the [blank_start]contralateral[blank_end] limb.
The force [blank_start]does[blank_end] (does or does not) depend on the stimulus intensity.- Aflexion-withdrawal

31The stretch reflex is a [blank_start]muscle contraction[blank_end] in response to stretching within the muscle.

- Bmuscle contraction
- Creciprocal innervation
