Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a reflex arc: A reflex arc is the neural pathway that controls a reflex action. It involves several components that work together to produce a quick response to a stimulus.

Identify the components of a reflex arc: The main parts include the receptor, sensory neuron, integration center, motor neuron, and effector.

Determine the sequence of events in a reflex arc: The process begins with the receptor detecting a stimulus. This information is then transmitted via the sensory neuron to the integration center, typically located in the spinal cord or brain.

Explain the role of the integration center: The integration center processes the information and decides the appropriate response, which is then sent through the motor neuron.

Conclude with the effector's action: The motor neuron carries the response to the effector, which is usually a muscle or gland, to carry out the reflex action.
