Illustration of the jaw-jerk monosynaptic reflex. Tapping the jaw elicits a quick stretch that causes the muscle spindles in the masseter muscles to respond. The primary afferents synapse on low motor neurons that, in turn, project back to the masseter muscle. While this is illustrated unilaterally, tapping elicits the reflex bilaterally. Labeled.
