Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct order for a reflex?
A
sensory neuron, spinal cord, brain
B
sensory neuron, motor neuron, interneuron
C
motor neuron, sensory neuron, interneuron
D
sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron
E
motor neuron, brain, spinal cord
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The first is a sensor, which senses what is happening to the body, the second is a sensory neuron to carry that information to the spinal cord, and the third is a motor neuron to transmit information away from the spinal cord to the fourth part, which is the muscle that creates an action.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct sequence of the components in a reflex arc is given below: Receptors → Sensory neuron → Spinal cord → Motor neuron → Muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct process of a reflex arc is stimulus, receptor, sensory neuron, relay neuron, motor neuron, effector, response.

Detailed explanation-4: -In terms of function, scientists classify neurons into three broad types: sensory, motor, and interneurons.
