\nThe correct sequence of components in a typical reflex arc is Receptor \u2192 Sensory neuron \u2192 Spinal cord (integration center) \u2192 Motor neuron \u2192 Effector.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– A reflex arc is the neural pathway that mediates a reflex action.
\n– The receptor detects the stimulus.
\n– The sensory (afferent) neuron transmits the impulse from the receptor towards the central nervous system (CNS).
\n– The integration center (in simple reflexes, often the spinal cord) processes the signal.
\n– The motor (efferent) neuron transmits the impulse from the CNS to the effector.
\n– The effector (muscle or gland) carries out the response.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIn a simple monosynaptic reflex arc, the sensory neuron synapses directly with the motor neuron in the spinal cord. In polysynaptic reflexes, interneurons are involved between the sensory and motor neurons. While the brain can be involved in modulating reflexes or perceiving the stimulus, the basic reflex arc for many rapid reflexes is processed in the spinal cord.
