A stretch reflex involves a sensory neuron that carries the signal from a muscle spindle in the calf to the spinal cord, a distance of 1.2 m, at a conduction velocity of 80 m s⁻¹. The motor neuron returns the impulse to the same muscle over a distance of 0.5 m at 60 m s⁻¹. Each synapse introduces a delay of 0.5 ms. Calculate the total time (in milliseconds) from the initial stretch to the muscle contraction.
