The spinal reflex enters via the dorsal horn via the afferent nerves sensing the stimulus, e.g. nociceptors (pain receptors) in the skin. The afferent nerve synapses directly onto the efferent nerve responsible for skeletal muscle movement and leaves via the ventral horn, traveling to the muscle responsible for eliciting the response.

∙ 14y ago- receptor detects a stimulus - change in the environment
- sensory neurone sends signal to relay neurone
- motor neurone sends signal to effector
- effector produces a response
i hope that helps.. i had this question on my Biology homework.

∙ 10y agoThe information flows from the grey matter in the spine to the the muscle group needing the information to act. The nerves act as the pathways between the spinal cord and the muscles.

Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
spinal reflex
What is spinal reflex therapy?
Spinal reflex therapy is a neurological soft tissue procedure that gets powerful and reliable results. You can learn more at Spinal Reflex Institute's website.
The knee jerk reflex is an example of a?
A reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. A reflex arc is the pathway traveled by the nerve impulses during a reflex.Most reflexes are spinal reflexes with pathways that traverse only the spinal cord. During a spinal reflex, information may be transmitted to the brain, but it is the spinal cord, and not the brain, that is responsible for the integration of sensory information and a response transmitted to motor neurons.Information is sent to the brain but that takes awhile longer. It is best if you remove your hand from the fire as fast as possible and not wait until the brain yells "hot, hot!".
What control reflex?
spinal cord
The conductor of nerve impulses that initiates reflex reaction to sensory information without input from the brain is the what?
spinal cord
What controls a reflex?
spinal cord
Where are the spinal reflex centers located?
In the gray matter of the spinal cord.
Identify the components of the spinal reflex arc?
your spinal reflex is controlled ny the nerve going from the spine to the brain in 1941 Anthony madrado die from slow spinal; reflexes
What is the withdraw reflex?
a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
During a knee-jerk reflex the nerve impulse is received by the?
The knee-jerk reflex is controlled by the interneurons in the spinal cord.
what type of reflex is the knee?
The knee reflex is also called the knee-jerk reflex by tapping the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer. This sends sensory information to the spinal cord at L4 and motor information back to the Quadriceps in the thigh (relaxing the hamstrings). This is reflex requires only two neurons. No interneuron. And so is very rapid. It is important in balance and posture.
Reflex responses are controlled in your what?
Spinal Cord
