and is made up of two pairs of columns (dorsal and ventral) consisting of gray matter.

37
Q

The outer part of the cord

A

brain, conducts motor impulses down descending tracts to neurons that stimulate
glands and muscles throughout the body, and is responsible for simple reflex activity.

A

Spinal Cord

39
Q

Reflex activity involves various neural structures. For example, the stretch
reflex—the simplest type of reflex arc—involves one sensory neuron (afferent), one
motor neuron (efferent), and one synapse. An example of this is the knee jerk, which
is elicited by tapping the patellar tendon. More complex reflexes involve three or
more neurons
