Muscle physiology

reflex contraction of a muscle in response to its own stretch, shown to depend on afferents from the stretched muscle itself.

In muscle physiology, stretch reflex refers to reflex contraction of a muscle in response to its own stretch, shown to depend on afferents from the stretched muscle itself. This meaning comes from Liddell (1924) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character.[1]
