?
What is the first stage of the reflex arc?
A receptor detects a stimulus.
1 of 5
What is the second stage of the reflex arc?
A sensory neurone transmits the action potential from the receptor to the Central Nervous System.
2 of 5
What is the third stage of the reflex arc?
A relay neurone coordinates a response by triggering action potentials in the motor neurones.
3 of 5
What is the fourth stage of the reflex arc?
Action potentials travel down the motor neurone, triggering a response.
4 of 5
What is the fifth stage of the reflex arc?
The action potentials cause the effector to move, removing the body part from the stimulus.
