Best Answer

Neurons are responsible for transmitting a stimulus across a synapse. The electric potential of the neuron is sensitive to changes in the resting state and sets off electric transmissions.

What is the order of impulse conduction thru reflex arc?

A reflex is an automatic response, that protects the organism from a harmful stimulus. The receptors detect a stimulus which generates a nerve impulse along the sensory neurone to the Central Nervous System (CNS). The CNS decides the appropiate response to the stimulus. The nerve impulse then travels across a synapse to the relay neurone, across another synapse to the motor neurone to the effector. This is normally a muscle or an organ which moves or responds to bring about a response appropiate to the stimulus.
