Question 8

Which sequence shows the correct pathway of a nervous response to a stimulus during a reflex action?

A

stimulus→receptor→sensory neurone→relay neurone→motor neurone→effector→response\text{stimulus} \rightarrow \text{receptor} \rightarrow \text{sensory neurone} \rightarrow \text{relay neurone} \rightarrow \text{motor neurone} \rightarrow \text{effector} \rightarrow \text{response}stimulus→receptor→sensory neurone→relay neurone→motor neurone→effector→response

B

stimulus→receptor→motor neurone→relay neurone→sensory neurone→effector→response\text{stimulus} \rightarrow \text{receptor} \rightarrow \text{motor neurone} \rightarrow \text{relay neurone} \rightarrow \text{sensory neurone} \rightarrow \text{effector} \rightarrow \text{response}stimulus→receptor→motor neurone→relay neurone→sensory neurone→effector→response

C

receptor→stimulus→sensory neurone→relay neurone→motor neurone→response→effector\text{receptor} \rightarrow \text{stimulus} \rightarrow \text{sensory neurone} \rightarrow \text{relay neurone} \rightarrow \text{motor neurone} \rightarrow \text{response} \rightarrow \text{effector}receptor→stimulus→sensory neurone→relay neurone→motor neurone→response→effector

D

effector→motor neurone→relay neurone→sensory neurone→receptor→stimulus→response\text{effector} \rightarrow \text{motor neurone} \rightarrow \text{relay neurone} \rightarrow \text{sensory neurone} \rightarrow \text{receptor} \rightarrow \text{stimulus} \rightarrow \text{response}effector→motor neurone→relay neurone→sensory neurone→receptor→stimulus→response
