which is the receptor for the stretch reflex
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.
