Sensory neurons
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.

Sensory neurons
Afferent neurons, also known as sensory neurons, carry impulses from sense organs to the spinal cord or brain. They are responsible for transmitting sensory information, such as touch, pain, temperature, and other stimuli, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to these inputs.
Sensory neurons
A pseudo-unipolar neuron referred to as an afferent neuron carries a sensory impulse to the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system.A pseudo-unipolar neuron has one axon which comes from the cell body (soma) and then splits into two branches, the peripheral axonal branch which carries the impulse from the skin, and the central axonal branch which carries the impulse to the spinal cord; it has no dendrites, which distinguishes it from a bipolar neuron.The impulse moves along the peripheral branch and then to the central branch, skipping the soma.

A reflex. Reflexes are processed by the spinal cord in order to provide a quicker reaction than would be achieved if the signal travelled all the way to the brain and back.
