What best indicated the pathway that nerve impulses travel in a simple reflex?

A simple reflex travels in this order:
- Stimulus
2. Sensory Reception
This is when the body senses the stimulus through receptors located all over the body. Some receptors are clustered to form our major sensory organs (i.e., taste buds on tongue).
3. Central Nervous System
Sensory neurons transmit the signal to the CNS (brain and spinal cord) through peripheral nerves that connect from the body's extremities to the CNS.
If this simple reflex is part of a simple reflex arc (a stimulus that produces some reflexive response), the brain then sends instructions through a motor neuron to an effector (usually a muscle or gland). This prompts either muscle movement or chemical action.

A simple reflex arc that only involves two neurons; these are usually found in the digestive system.
How does the four major elements of a simple nervous pathway function during pain withdrawal reflex?
During a pain withdrawal reflex impulses are sent through different nerves and to the spinal cord. This reflex does not make it to the brain but only to the spinal cord. We call this involuntary action because we dont control reflexes. The sensory neurons are the first to recieve the impulse, then they travel to the interneurons, or associative neurons, and then they go to the motor neurons which carries the impulse to the central nervous system. Then the effector is the response, so in this case your musscle will contract.

What is the difference between a simple reflex and a conditioned?
A simple refelx refers to a reflex inborn, such as blinking or coughing. Meanwhile,a conditioned reflex is a reflex developed by an individual owing to learning/experience such as playing a musical instrument,where notes can be played without attention due to experience.

A simple reflex does not involve thought processes?
True
