The path taken by the nerve impulses in a reflex is called a:
Correct answer: B. Reflex arc
- A. Nerve cell
- B. Reflex arc
- C. Receptor cells
- D. Mixed nerve
Explanation
The reflex arc is the pathway of impulses in the reflex action. The spinal cord acts as the center of reflex action. It begins with a sensory neuron at a receptor (e.g., a pain receptor in the fingertip) and ends with a motor neuron at an effector (e.g., a skeletal muscle).

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.
