The nerve impulse travels through the reflex arc. It travels from the sensor through the sensory neurone, through the spinal cord and motor neurone to the effector muscle.

How many speed of impulse in reflex arc?

The speed of impulse in a reflex arc can vary, but it is usually very fast, allowing for quick responses to stimuli. In general, impulses can travel at speeds of up to 100 meters per second along myelinated nerve fibers.


What is the difference between a reflex arc and a normal nerve impulse?

A reflex arc doesn't go all the way up to the brain. Thus it NEVER becomes part of the thought process.


What is the nerve impulse from your foot to your leg called?

The nerve impulse from your foot to your leg is called a sensory nerve signal or proprioceptive feedback. It helps transmit information about sensations such as touch, pressure, and position to the brain.


First step in a reflex arc?

A reflex arc involves the following components:The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus.The sensory neuron transmits the impulse to the spinal cord.The integration center involves one synapse (monosynaptic reflex arc) or two or more synapses (polysynaptic reflex arc) in the gray matter of the spinal cord.A motor neuron transmits a nerve impulse from the spinal cord to a peripheral region.An effector is a muscle or gland that receives the impulse from the motor neuron. In somatic reflexes, the effector is skeletal muscle. In autonomic (visceral) reflexes, the effector is smooth or cardiac muscle, or a gland.


Does A reflex arc begins with a receptor at the end of a sensory nerve?

No, a reflex arc begins with a receptor that detects a stimulus and sends a signal through a sensory nerve to the central nervous system.


What carry's impulse between the spinal cord and body parts?

Nerves. Spinal cord, nerve, effector organ (parts of body) are all components in the reflex arc. Hope I helped, 2000AD.


What is the impulse conduction through a reflex arc?

nociceptors and mechanoreceptors (respond to touch, temp and pain)


What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?

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.


What are three kinds of neutrons that would be involved in a reflex impulse?

They are neurons and not neutrons. You have afferent neuron. Then you have intermediate neuron and then you have the efferent neuron in the reflex arc.

What serves as the effector for micturition reflex arc?

An efferent somatic (pudendal nerve) output to the external sphincter which relaxes the external sphincter and causes the urine to flow through the urethra is the effector part of the reflex arc.


If you accidentally step on a tack with your bare foot the pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called?

The pathway that the nerve impulse takes from your foot to your leg is called the sensory pathway. This pathway includes sensory neurons that carry signals from the foot to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where the sensation of pain is perceived and a motor response is initiated to move away from the tack.
