  1. myotactic reflex

    Myotactic reflex, also known as the stretch reflex, is a muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It's a monosynaptic reflex that provides automatic regulation of skeletal muscle length. This reflex works by sending feedback to regulate contractions in accordance with external forces acting on the body, helping to maintain balance and posture. The simplest example of a myotactic reflex is the knee-jerk reflex.
