- The environmental stimulus for the
reflex response activates a sensory
neuron,
- which transmits the
sensory message to
the spinal cord
- Here the neural
impulses are
relayed to an
interneuron,
- which in turn passes
the impulses to the
motor neuron.
- The motor neuron
activates muscles involved
in the reflex response
- The entire unit from stimulus
input to response output was
termed the reflex arc
