Which option gives the most complete sequence of a reflex arc?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stimulus to receptor to sensory nerve to spinal cord to motor nerve to effector to response
The reflex arc follows a fixed functional sequence. A stimulus is detected by a receptor, and a sensory neuron carries the impulse to the spinal cord for rapid processing. A motor neuron then carries the outgoing impulse to an effector, such as a muscle or gland, which produces the response. Option A includes every essential stage in the correct order. The other sequences mix unrelated organs or reverse the pathway.
