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.heir function, like that of stretch reflexes, is the coordination of muscles and body movements. The deep tendon reflex involves sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. The response reverses the original stimulus therefore causing relaxation of the muscle stimulated.
