1. The receptor reacts to a stimulus. 2. The sensory neuron conducts the afferent impulses to the CNS. 3. The integration center consists of one or more synapses in the CNS. 4. The motor neuron conducts the efferent impulses from the integration center to an effector. 5. The effector, muscle fibers or glands, respond to the efferent impulses by contraction or secretion a product, respectively.

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 does not pass through the brain. The somatic reflex arc and autonomic reflex arc are two types.
spinal cordautotomicspinal cord in the central nervous system controls reflex arc and reflex action.
Damage to the spine can affect the reflex arc by delaying the nerve pathway or making it so you are unable to move a muscle.
Receptor ---> sensory neuron----> interneuron (at spinal cord)---->motor neuron---->effector. The Achelles tendon reflex is a good example of how this happens. You do send infromation to the brain in the form of an "incident report" but his is much slower.
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.
In a typical reflex arc, the 3 kinds are: # sensory # interneuron # and motor.
Hormones have nothing to do in reflex arc.

A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.

Reflex Arc
Reflexes are uncontrollable movements that happen almost instantly in response to a stimuli. A reflex arc, a neuronal circuit that controls reflexes, is where reflex activities takes place.
