A

Nervous System

104
Q

A reflex action often involves a very simple nervous pathway called a reflex arc. A reflex arc starts with receptors being excited. They then send signals along a sensory neuron to your spinal cord, where the signals are passed on to a motor neuron. As a result, one of your muscles or glands is stimulated.
