A reflex involving a sensory and a motor neuron is called such transmission.
Correct answer: B. Mono synaptic reflex
- A. Synapse
- B. Mono synaptic reflex
- C. Reflex arc
- D. Synaptic cleft
Explanation
Option A: Synapse: The region where the impulse moves from one neuron to another is called a synapse. Option B: Monosynaptic: A reflex usually involves two neurons, a sensory neuron and a motor neuron. The pathway of such transmission is the reflex arc. In this case, since only one synapse is involved, such a reflex is called monosynaptic. Option C: Reflex arc: A reflex arc is the neural pathway that mediates a reflex action, allowing for a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus without conscious thought from the brain. This pathway typically involves a sensory receptor, a sensory neuron, a relay neuron (in more complex arcs), a motor neuron, and an effector (like a muscle or gland). Option D: Synaptic cleft: The space between two neurons across which the impulse is transmitted by a neurotransmitter is known as the synaptic cleft.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
