Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During a withdrawal reflex, ____ issue commands to motor neurons.
A
sensory neurons
B
motor neurons
C
interneurons
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The withdrawal reflex is polysynaptic, meaning that, in addition to the sensory and motor neurons, this response utilizes interneurons which pass signals between the sensory and motor neurons, ultimately creating multiple synaptic connections.

Detailed explanation-2: -In our body, interneurons are in the spinal cord. So, when an interneuron participates in a reflex, there is more than one synapse, and these reflexes are then called complex reflexes.
