A reflex does not always go to the brain, what neuron allows the information to be take to the brain from a reflex?
A
Relay
B
Motor
C
Sensory
D
Reflex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The efferent neuron then carries the signal from the CNS to the effector. The stimulus thus forms a reflex arc.

Detailed explanation-3: -The efferent nueuron then carries signals from CNS to the effector. Reflexes do not require involvement of the brain although in some cases the brain can prevent reflex action.
