DescriptionReflex arc of decapod (including LG interneuron).svg
English: (A) Microscopic hairs etched along the tail of the decapod activate a somatic signal in response to the presence of an environmental stimulus. (B) The action potential activated by the somatic interneuron relays an impulse to the lateral giant (LG) interneuron. (C) The lateral giant interneuron executes a reflex by relaying impulses to various giant motor neurons within the abdomen of the lobster. The muscular contractions result in the lobster being able to successfully propel itself through the water, away from the site of stimulus.
Français : (A) Les poils microscopiques gravés le long de la queue du décapode activent un signal somatique en réponse à la présence d'un stimulus environnemental. (B) Le potentiel d'action activé par l'interneurone somatique transmet une impulsion à l'interneurone géant latéral (LG). (C) L'interneuron géant latéral exécute un réflexe en relayant des impulsions à divers neurones moteurs géants dans l'abdomen du homard. Les contractions musculaires font en sorte que le homard peut se propulser avec succès dans l'eau, loin du site du stimulus.
