Answer:

The sensory input (afferent) of the reflex is from two structures in the muscle called spindles and Golgi tendon organs. The output (efferent) is the alpha motor neuron that contracts (tightens) the muscle. (The muscle fibers are sometimes referred to as extrafusal fibers.)

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.

Afferent nerve fibers carry signals from the somatic receptors to the posterior horn of the spinal cord or to the brainstem.

Law Incorporation [45]

The bony labyrinth is a region of dense bone that surrounds and protects the membranous labyrinth.

Labyrinth is the name given to the inner ear. It is made up of a network of interconnecting sacs and canals. The inner ear is composed of two parts: bony labyrinth and membranous labyrinth. A vestibule, three semicircular canals, and a spirally wound cochlea make up the bony labyrinth. It is perilymph-filled.

The membranous labyrinth is encircled by the bony labyrinth. It includes the hearing and balance sensory receptors. The cochlear duct, saccule, and utricle and three semicircular ducts that make up the endolymph-filled membranous labyrinth. The cristae, an organ of corti, and the ampullaris maculae are examples of sensory receptors.
