Detailed explanation-1: -The alternative is that you have the stimulus (you start to step on the nail). That information goes via afferent neurons to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, synapses on the internuncial neuron, and then it’s going to an efferent neuron.
Detailed explanation-2: -The reflex shown in this figure is called a 3-neuron reflex because it requires three types of neurons: a sensory, an interneuron, and a motor neuron.
Detailed explanation-3: -Due to touching the plate, an impulse is registered from our sensory organs to our Sensory Neurons. From there, the impulse travels to the Central Nervous System (Spinal Cord), where the appropriate action takes place. After that, the impulse is transferred back to the muscle, using the motor neuron.
