There are control column cutout switches on the 737.

They are buried under the floor and simply prevent a pilot from trimming against the yoke. ie. you can't pull on the yoke and trim nose down or push on the yoke and trim nose up. And these switches are overridden by the STAB TRIM override switch on the Aft Electronic Panel.
