• Flexor and crossed-extensor reflexes

  These, in turn, synapse with motor neurons, again on the same side of the cord, to send a motor impulse down to the thigh to innervate with effector muscles that flex the leg at the knee.

• crossed-extensor reflex exemplifies both serial and parallel processing

  These motor neurons end in the flexor muscles of the thigh allowing the right leg to be flexed, hence removing the foot from the tack. 4.

• Frog Anatomy: detailed, includes labeled photographs

  The frog has one "forearm" bone, the radio-ulna and one "upper arm" bone, the humerus. The hind legs of the frog are highly specialized for leaping. The single "shinbone" is the tibiofibula and the single upper leg (thigh) bone is the femur.
