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.

By which process are large molecules brought into a cell through a vesicle?

IceJOKER [234]

Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane, which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested material.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Vacuoles.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells contain well membrane bound nucleus. Their cell organelles are divided into structural and functional compartment by the endomembrane system.

The large compartment that maintains turgor pressure is vacuole. Vacuoles are generally present in plants and maintain the disposal of cellular waste and storage of toxic materials.

Thus, the answer is vacuole.
