Your friend Chad is carrying some firewood in his outstretched arms. While his eyes are closed because of the wood dust, you drop a concrete brick on top of the wood he is carrying and he drops everything he was holding. You are surprised, as Chad is quite strong and should be able to hold the wood and the brick. While you are running away from an angry Chad, you remember that the reason he dropped the load he was carrying is because: Choose one. O The extra load caused his muscles to lengthen, which activated his muscle spindles, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons. The extra load led to an increase in the force his muscles were exerting, which activated his golgi tendon organs, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons. O The extra load caused his muscles to lengthen, which activated his golgi tendon organs, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons. O The extra load led to an increase in the force his muscles were exerting, which activated his muscle spindles, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons. O Chad's muscles had been desensitised from the load he was carrying, and were less responsive to signals received from alpha motor neurons.

Transcribed Image Text:Your friend Chad is carrying some firewood in his outstretched arms. While his eyes are closed because of the wood dust, you
drop a concrete brick on top of the wood he is carrying and he drops everything he was holding. You are surprised, as Chad is
quite strong and should be able to hold the wood and the brick. While you are running away from an angry Chad, you remember
that the reason he dropped the load he was carrying is because: Choose one.
The extra load caused his muscles to lengthen, which activated his muscle spindles, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons.
O The extra load led to an increase in the force his muscles were exerting, which activated his golgi tendon organs, causing reflex inhibition of his
alpha motor neurons.
The extra load caused his muscles to lengthen, which activated his golgi tendon organs, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons.
O The extra load led to an increase in the force his muscles were exerting, which activated his muscle spindles, causing reflex inhibition of his
alpha motor neurons.
Chad's muscles had been desensitised from the load he was carrying, and were less responsive to signals received from alpha motor neurons.
