Crossed-extensor reflex prevents you from falling when you suddenly lift one foot off the ground in response to pain.

  • A withdrawal reflex is the crossed extensor reflex. In the withdrawing limb, the extensors relax while the flexors contract, but in the other limb, the opposite happens.
  • This can be seen, for instance, when someone steps on a nail; the affected leg pulls away, while the other leg bears the weight of the entire body.
  • Contralateral means that the crossed extensor reflex takes place on the side of the body that is opposite from the stimulus.
  • Afferent nerve fiber branches travel from the stimulated side of the body to the opposite side of the spinal cord to cause this response.
  • They make connections with interneurons there, which then stimulate or inhibit alpha motor neurons to he muscles of the contralateral limb.

"it is possible to combine two or more plant proteins with different essential amino acids to yield a complete protein."
leonid [27]
Yes i believe it is possible. Complete proteins are proteins with all the indispensable amino acids present in proper proportions; for example in foods like eggs, meat, fish, milk. Incomplete proteins on the other hand are food proteins that contain a limiting amount of one or more indispensable amino acids needed for growth; for example corn tortillas are lacking in lysine. It is possible to make a complete protein by combining together two incomplete protein foods in the same meal.
