GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Spinal Cord is the center that controls reflex action. Reflex actions are actions that are carried out quickly in response to a stimulus and thus do not involve any thinking, and thus are under the control of spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -The information through the reflex arc does not travel directly to the brain in most vertebrates. Instead, it travels through the synapse and reaches the spinal cord, which acts as the leading center for these actions and sends an appropriate response for the stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spinal reflexes include the stretch reflex, the Golgi tendon reflex, the crossed extensor reflex, and the withdrawal reflex.
