Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The reflex arc includes the afferent or sensory limb, central neural processing and efferent motor system innervating effector organs. Visceral afferent fibers responsive to mechanical stimuli are either high or low threshold with the high threshold endings frequently serving as nociceptors.
Detailed explanation-2: -) General visceral afferent receptors are found in organs of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis; their fibres convey, for example, pain information from the digestive tract. Both types of afferent fibre project centrally from cell bodies in dorsal-root ganglia.
