Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.

The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
What are the five parts of a reflex arc?
Summarized below are the 5 major components of the reflex arc: 1. Receptor 2. Afferent (sensory) neurons 3. Association neuron 4. Efferent (motor) neurons 5. Effector
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is at the end of a reflex arc as it is the muscle or gland that 'does' the reflex. What the effector does is the outcome of the reflex arc.
A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a what?
A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a sensory receptor such as those on the skin. The stimulus is then passed as an electrical impulse along sensory, relay and motor neurones (by-passing the brain) before reaching an effector orgen, like a muscle, which then responds to the stimulus.
Reflexes are not carried to the brain?
A reflex arc does not pass through the brain. The somatic reflex arc and autonomic reflex arc are two types.
What type of neuron begins a reflex arc?
A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.
Which part of a reflex arc monitors body conditions?
Sensory Receptor
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
What occurs during the reflex arc.?
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.
What path does a reflex arc take?
it goes to the receptor-spinalcord-motor neuron go diamondbacks lolz
What is the correct arrangement of a reflex arc?
Receptor → Sensory Neuron → Associative Neuron→ Motor division →Effectors
What are the five parts of a reflex?
Five parts of a reflex arc are the receptor, sensory neuron (afferent), integration center, motor neuron (efferent), and effector.
Type of neurones along a reflex arc?
the sensory receptor begins then the Relay neuron and final the motor neuron
How does a reflex arc help maintain homeostasis?
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.
What are the five parts of a reflex arc?
Summarized below are the 5 major components of the reflex arc: 1. Receptor 2. Afferent (sensory) neurons 3. Association neuron 4. Efferent (motor) neurons 5. Effector
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is at the end of a reflex arc as it is the muscle or gland that 'does' the reflex. What the effector does is the outcome of the reflex arc.
What structure detects the stimulus in the reflex action?
The stimulus is detected by temperature or pain receptors in the skin. These generate impulses in sensory neurons. The impulses enter the CNS ( Central nervous system ) through a part of the spinal nerve called the Dorsal root.
