Flexor Reflex
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.
Homeostasis works as a negative feedback mechanism, which is a kind of reflex action. When the body detects changes in external/internal environment, the receptor will generate a nerve impulse to the coordination centre and then make a response through effector. This is a reflex arc.
'Made of' is difficult to say, but the reflex arc includes within it Sensory Nerve Fibres, Receptor Cells and Sensory Neurones. The effect of these is to bypass the normal interface with the central nervous system, so that the body responds instantly to potentially dangerous stimuli.

The receptor is the retina of the eye; smooth muscle of the iris is the effector. They both change simultaneously because the pupillary light reflex is contralateral.
A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.
