The process of reflex actions involves receptors detecting a stimulus, impulses traveling along sensory and relay neurons to the CNS, and a motor neuron carrying the impulse to the effector for a response.
El proceso de las acciones reflejas implica que los receptores detecten un estímulo, los impulsos viajen a lo largo de las neuronas sensoriales y de relevo hacia el SNC, y que una neurona motora lleve el impulso al efector para la respuesta.
| Front | Process of reflex actions (steps 1-5) |
|---|---|
| Back | 1- Pain stimulus detected by receptors 2- Impulses from the receptor pass along a sensory neurone to the CNS 3- Impulse then passes through a relay neurone 4- A motor neurone carries an impulse to the effector 5- The effector responds, E.g: moves a limb away from source of pain |
