The marginal cost curve is U-shaped. For the first 4 Stuffed Amigos, marginal cost declines from $5 to a low of $1.50. However, for the production beyond 6 Stuffed Amigos, marginal cost increases.
Stretch Reflex. The stretch reflex is one of the simplest reflexes which contract a muscle that is being stretched. The stretch reflex is mediated through a monosynaptic arc and it contributes to the maintenance of steady standing posture and to coordinate muscle movement.
The Stretch Reflex : (See Figure 13.15). The stretch reflex in its simplest form involves only 2 neurons, and is therefore sometimes called a 2-neuron reflex. The two neurons are a sensory and a motor neuron. The sensory neuron is stimulated by stretch (extension) of a muscle.Stretch of a muscle normally happens when its antagonist contracts, or artificially when its tendon is stretched, as in the knee jerk reflex.he stretch and tendon reflexes complement one another. When one muscle is stretching and stimulating the stretch reflex, its antagonist is contracting and stimulating the tendon reflex. The two reflexes cause the same responses thus enhancing one another.
