receptor
Reflex Arc
A nervous system structure that intakes the stimulus and “translates” it to electrical language understood by neurons
sensory (afferent) neuron
Reflex Arc
These are typically classified as the neurons responsible for converting various external stimuli that come from the environment into corresponding internal stimuli. They carry the sensory information from the receptor to the brain or spinal cord.
integration center
Reflex Arc
The brain or spinal cord where sensory information is sorted, “understood”, and a decision about responding to the sensory information is made. Reflexes may be spinal or cranial, depending on where the [term] is located
motor (efferent) neuron
Reflex Arc
A neuron located in the central nervous system that projects its axon outside the CNS and directly or indirectly controls effectors. The motor neuron carries the “do something” information to the effector.
effector
Reflex Arc
A muscle or gland that responds to the motor neuron’s signal
