In the knee jerk, contraction of quadriceps is accompanied by relaxation of the opposing flexor muscles. The contraction of quadriceps is mediated by a monosynaptic reflex (as stated above), and the relaxation of the antagonists is due to a dual connection reflex. The relaxation of antagonists is mediated by an inhibitory transmitter released by interneurones - these are called the la inhibitory interneurones. How do we name a dual connection reflex? monosynaptic disynaptic tricynaptic polysaccharide
