Q

how does the process for a muscle respond to a nerve impulses ?

A
  1. Sensory Receptor ( responds to a stimulus by producing a
    a receptor potential) that goes to
  2. Sensory Neuron (axon conducts impulses from the receptor to the
    integrating Centre)
  3. Integrating Centre (relay impulses from sensory to motor neurons)
  4. Motor Neurons ( Axon conducts impulses from integrating Centre
    to effector)
