A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls an action reflex. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain, although the b...

When a sensory receptor is stimulated, signals pass from it along a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. The message travels out of the spinal cord along a motor neuron to the effector organ (e.g. a muscle or a gland), which acts accordingly. Such a pathway is called a reflex arc. The sensory nerve fi...

In animals, the passage of a nerve impulse from a receptor to a muscle that results in an automatic response to the stimulus. It is the simplest kind of animal behaviour. Examples include the removal of the hand when it touches a hot object, blinking when an object comes close to the eye, and the nar...
