What are the type of nerve cells?
There are three different types of neurone: sensory, relay and motor - which are involved in a reflex arc.
Where is the relay neurone in the reflex arc?
The relay neuron is located in the spinal cord in a reflex arc. It connects the sensory neuron to the motor neuron, allowing for the reflex response to be processed and carried out quickly without involving the brain.
Where does the nerve impulse travel from the reflex arc?
The nerve impulse typically travels from the sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed by interneurons, and then to the motor neuron to elicit a response from the effector organ or muscle.
What neurons are involved in a reflex?
3 neurons are included in the reflex arc. They are: Afferent neurons (take the message to the spinal cord) (sensory) Association neurons (directs message to the efferent neuron and the brain) (report reflex to the brain) Efferent neurons (takes message to effector) (motor) Not all reflexes have interneurons.
How may you Explain the role of sensory and motor neurones in a reflex arc.?

What kind of reflex arc does not require an inter neuron?
A monosynaptic reflex arc does not require an interneuron. In this type of reflex arc, the sensory neuron communicates directly with the motor neuron in the spinal cord or brainstem, resulting in a quick and simple reflex response.
What are the two types of reflex arcs?
The two types of reflex arcs are the monosynaptic reflex arc and the polysynaptic reflex arc. A monosynaptic reflex arc involves a direct connection between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron, allowing for a quick response, as seen in the knee-jerk reflex. In contrast, a polysynaptic reflex arc includes one or more interneurons between the sensory and motor neurons, enabling more complex responses and integration of information, such as in withdrawal reflexes.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
The sensory receptor, sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector involved in a reflex form a reflex arc. This is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action in response to a stimulus without conscious thought.
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.
Describe the reflex arc?
A reflex arc is the neural pathway that mediates a reflex action. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain, although the brain will receive sensory input while the reflex action occurs.
What is the name for the path a reflex follows through the body?
The name for the path a reflex follows through the body is called a reflex arc. This arc involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons that work together to produce a rapid response without input from the brain.
Last step of a reflex arc?
