Reciprocal inhibition is the process by which muscles on one side of a joint relax allowing for the muscles on the other side of the joint to contract. It is a coordinated pattern an example of which would be when hamstrings relax so that the quadriceps may contract while running/walking and this occurs over and over. Type Ia sensory afferent axons project via inhibitory interneurons to the antagonistic muscle group (hamstrings in the case of walking) therefore inhibiting the hamstrings as the quadriceps are excited and vice versa.

What is the product of two numbers that are reciprocals of one another explain why this is always the case?
A fraction multiplied by its reciprocal is always equal to one. This is because the reciprocal is an inversion of the fraction. The denominator of a fraction is the same number as the numerator of the reciprocal, and vice versa. The product of this is a fraction with the same numbers for the denominator and reciprocal, which is also known as an equivalent fraction. Equivalent fractions are always equal to one.
Why is the reciprocal of a fraction less than one always a fraction greater than one?
A positive fraction that is less than one is known as a proper fraction. In a proper fraction, the denominator is greater than the numerator. A reciprocal fraction would have a numerator greater than the denominator. Such a fraction is known as an improper fraction. Improper fractions are greater than one.
How can you tell if something is perpendicular?
In a graph, you first must find the slopes of both lines using the rise over run method or by using the x2-x1 over y2-y1 method known as slope formula. The lines will be perpendicular if the slope of one line is opposite reciprocal of the other. the opposite reciprocal of 1/2 is -2
What is known as the process of studying you subject from many angles?
cubing
What is a stochastic process?
Stochastic process is also known as a random process. It is a collection of random variables that represent the evolution of some system of random values over time.

It is the reciprocal of acoustic stiffness. Also known as acoustic capacitance.
What is blastulation explain briefly?
Blastulation is the process of the cleavage subdividing the mass of the zygote until a cluster of cells known as blastula are formed
How do you spell multiplicative inverse?
That is the correct spelling of multiplicative inverse, also known as the reciprocal.
A factor by which you multiply a given number so that their product is 1?
That's known as the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal.
What is the use of reciprocal lattice in crystal?
In physics, the reciprocal lattice of a lattice (usually a Bravais lattice) is the lattice in which the Fourier Transform of the spatial function of the original lattice (or direct lattice) is represented. This space is also known as momentum space or less commonly k-space, due to the relationship between the Pontryagin momentum and position. The reciprocal lattice of a reciprocal lattice is the original or direct lattice.
What Reciprocal evolution of flowers and the insects that feed on them is known as?
The reciprocal evolution of flowers and insect mouth parts has occurred over millions of years. The flowers change to make their nectar inaccessible to insects while insects change to be able to attain the nectar.
