  4. Sensory neurons convey the information to the spinal cord. Sensors detect a sudden stretch in the quadriceps. The sensory neurons communicate with motor neurons that supply the quadriceps. The motor neurons convey signals to the quadriceps, causing it to contract and jerking the lower leg forward. 3 1 6 2 4 5 Cell body of sensory neuronin dorsal root ganglion Gray matter Sensory neurons from the quadriceps also communicate with interneuronsin the spinal cord. Quadricepsmuscle White matter Hamstringmuscle The interneurons inhibit motor neurons that supply the hamstring (flexor) muscle. This inhibition prevents the hamstring from contracting, which would resist the action of the quadriceps. Spinal cord(cross section) Sensory neuron Motor neuron The reflex is initiated by tapping the tendon connected to the quadriceps (extensor) muscle. Interneuron Figure 48.4 The knee-jerk reflex No brain involvement = faster response

Axon Actionpotential – – + + + + + + An action potential is generated as Na+ flows inward across the membrane at one location. 1 + + – – – – – – Na+ – – – – – – + + – – + + + + + + Actionpotential The depolarization of the action potential spreads to the neighboring region of the membrane, re-initiating the action potential there. To the left of this region, the membrane is repolarizing as K+ flows outward. 2 K+ – – + + + + + + – – + – – – + – Na+ – – – – – – + + – – + + + + + + K+ Actionpotential The depolarization-repolarization process isrepeated in the next region of the membrane. In this way, local currents of ions across the plasma membrane cause the action potential to be propagated along the length of the axon.
