the neuron pathway
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
An automatic reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls reflex actions in response to a stimulus. It involves sensory neurons detecting the stimulus and sending signals to the spinal cord, which then quickly activates motor neurons to produce a rapid and involuntary response, bypassing conscious control from the brain.
Effectors are muscles or glands that bring about a coordinated response in reaction to a stimulus. They execute the commands sent by the central nervous system to produce movements or secretions in response to a specific signal.
The nervous system and the endocrine system interact to produce a behavioral response. The nervous system sends signals through neurons to initiate a response, while the endocrine system releases hormones that can modulate and sustain that response over time. Both systems work together to coordinate behavioral responses to internal and external stimuli.
Reflexes involve a sensory neuron that detects a stimulus, an interneuron in the spinal cord that processes the information, and a motor neuron that sends the response signal to the muscle or gland. These three neurons work together in a reflex arc to produce a rapid and involuntary response to a stimulus.
A reflex
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
This process is called classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus alone can produce the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. This creates a conditioned response, where the neutral stimulus now elicits the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.
our senses will detect stimulus and send impulse into the integrating centre(brain) to interpret. the brain will produce appropriate response toward the stimulus to the effector. e.g when Telephone ring, the ears will detect the stimulus(sound) and the brain will produce the response to pick up the phone (copy from Yahoo answers)

Stimulus?
1. Neutral Stimulus(NS)-A stimulus that does not evoke a response 2.Unconditioned Stimulus(US)-A stimulus innately capable of eliciting a response 3.Conditioned Stimulus(CS)-A stimulus that evokes a response b/c it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus 4.Unconditioned Response(UR)-An innate reflex response elicited by a US 5.Conditioned Response(CR)-A learned response elicited by a CS
When paired with an unconditional stimulus, a neutral stimulus can become a conditioned stimulus and produce the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.
Classical conditioning involves a neutral stimulus acquiring the ability to produce a response that was originally produced by a different stimulus through the process of association. This type of learning was famously demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov's experiments with dogs.
A Stimulus is picked up by a receptor, travels along a sensory neurone to either the spinal cord or brain, then it is processed to produce some response.
reflex arc. This pathway consists of a sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron in the spinal cord, motor neuron, and effector muscle or gland. It allows for quicker responses to potentially harmful stimuli without conscious brain involvement.
For classical conditioning to occur a neutral stimulus must be paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus is initially meaningless to the organism but becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus after the two are repeatedly paired together. This process of association is known as classical conditioning. The following are the components needed for classical conditioning to occur: A neutral stimulus An unconditioned stimulus A response ReinforcementThe neutral stimulus is something that does not initially produce a response. It is usually a sound taste or smell. The unconditioned stimulus is something that naturally produces a response. It is usually a food or something that causes pain or discomfort. The response is the reaction to the unconditioned stimulus such as salivating or flinching. Reinforcement is the use of rewards or punishments to strengthen the association between the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.
