In a simple spinal reflex, the sensory neuron conducts impulses over a distance of \(0.8\ \text{m}\) at \(55\ \text{m s}^{-1}\), and the motor neuron conducts over \(0.6\ \text{m}\) at \(45\ \text{m s}^{-1}\). Each synapse in the reflex arc introduces a delay of \(0.5\ \text{ms}\). Calculate the total time from stimulus onset to muscle contraction (in ms) and state whether this reflex qualifies as a fast reflex (≤ 5 ms).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. ≈28.9 ms (not a fast reflex)
B. ≈27.9 ms (not a fast reflex)
C. ≈4.8 ms (fast reflex)
D. ≈29.4 ms (not a fast reflex)
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
≈28.9 ms (not a fast reflex)
