Witch of the following shows the path followed by nerve impulses in a reflex
The answer is sensory neurons->
Interneurons in spinal cord-> motor
Neurons
Thx connex that was correct
umm
ok?
thats it....?
i would like to know the answer...plzzzz
so whats the answer
To determine the path followed by nerve impulses in a reflex, we need to understand the basic components and steps involved in a reflex arc.
A reflex arc is a neural pathway that mediates a reflex action. It consists of five main components:
1. Receptor: The sensory receptors located in the skin, muscles, or tendons detect a stimulus, such as heat, pressure, or pain.
2. Sensory Neuron: The sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, carry the sensory information from the receptor to the central nervous system (CNS).
3. Integration Center: The integration center is usually a single or a group of interneurons located in the spinal cord or brain. It receives the sensory information and generates an appropriate response.
4. Motor Neuron: The motor neurons, also known as efferent neurons, carry the nerve impulse away from the integration center to the effector.
5. Effector: The effector is usually a muscle or gland that responds to the motor neuron's impulse by producing a reflex action, such as muscle contraction or secretion.
Now, considering the above components, let's identify the path followed by nerve impulses in a reflex:
1. The stimulus is detected by sensory receptors.
2. The sensory neurons transmit the nerve impulse from the receptor to the integration center (spinal cord or brain).
3. At the integration center, the sensory information is processed and an appropriate response is generated.
4. The motor neurons then carry the nerve impulse from the integration center to the effector.
5. The effector receives the nerve impulse and produces a reflex action.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the correct sequence/path followed by nerve impulses in a reflex is:
Sensory Receptor → Sensory Neuron → Integration Center → Motor Neuron → Effector
