Difference between Alpha motor neuron and Patellar reflex

Alpha motor neuron vs. Patellar reflex

Alpha (α) motor neurons (also called alpha motoneurons), are large, multipolar lower motor neurons of the brainstem and spinal cord. The patellar reflex or knee-jerk (myotatic) (monosynaptic) (American spelling knee reflex) is a stretch reflex which tests the L2, L3, and L4 segments of the spinal cord.

Similarities between Alpha motor neuron and Patellar reflex

Alpha motor neuron and Patellar reflex have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Interneuron, Muscle spindle, Quadriceps femoris muscle, Reflex arc, Spinal cord, Stretch reflex.

Interneuron

An interneuron (also called internuncial neuron, relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron, intermediate neuron or local circuit neuron) is a broad class of neurons found in the human body.

Quadriceps femoris muscle

The quadriceps femoris (also called the quadriceps extensor, quadriceps or quads), is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh.
