Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. The receptor in the reflex arc of a stretch reflex are 'muscle spindles' which are spindle shaped receptors distributed throughout the belly of the muscle.or example the knee jerk reflex is a monosynaptic reflex: 1. The patellar tendon is stretched. 2. The afferent neuron (which has stretch sensors) send a signal up to the spinal cord. 3. In the spinal cord at the synapse.
The first is the muscle spindles. Located within the muscle fibres they monitor changes in muscle length. The stretch reflex is the bodys involuntary response to an external stimulus that stretches the muscle (5) and causes a reflexive increase in muscular activity. It is the muscle spindles that activate this response. When stretching, it is best to avoid this activating the muscle spindles and the stretch-reflex response, as it will limit motion. Static stretching does not elicit the muscle spindles, allowing muscles to relax and achieve a greater stretch. The other important proprioceptors are the golgi tendon organs (GTO).
