Identify what happens when the doctor hits your knee cap with the rubber hammer during your annual physical.

A. The stimulus travels down the dendrite of your sensory neuron, through the dorsal root ganglion, is transmitted through the axons of the sensory neuron to the interneuron. From here it enters the cell body of the motor neuron and travels down the ventral root axon of the motor neuron to stimulate the effector. B.
