multiple choice question
because it only uses two neurons, the patellar reflex is an example of a _.
o monosynaptic reflex
bineuronal reflex
bisynaptic reflex
o visceral reflex
A monosynaptic reflex involves a single synapse between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron (total of two neurons). The patellar reflex uses one sensory neuron and one motor neuron, so it's monosynaptic. "Bineuronal reflex" is not a standard term. A bisynaptic reflex has two synapses (three neurons). Visceral reflexes involve internal organs, not the patellar reflex.
