Question

What is the word for an organ or tissue that brings about the response in a reflex action?

Answer 1

Answer:

Reflex arc

Explanation:

For example, a simple reflex arc happens if we accidentally touch something hot. Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature).

Answer 2

Answer :

• The sensory neurons or receptors that receive input and connect to other nerve cells that activate muscle cells to produce the reflex action are the main components of the reflex arc.

• The brain mechanism that governs a reflex is known as a reflex arc.

• Most sensory neurons in vertebrates synapse in the spinal cord rather than passing directly into the brain.

• This enables faster reflex actions by stimulating spinal motor neurons without having to wait for messages to go to the brain.
