List the order of events that will occur during a reflex arc.

What will be an ideal response?


1. A sensation causes the sensory receptors in the skin to generate nerve signals that move along sensory fibers toward the spinal cord.
2. Sensory neurons pass signals on to many interneurons. 
3. Some of the interneurons integrate the information and then relay signals to motor neurons. 
4. Nerve signals travel along these motor fibers to an effector, which brings about a response to the stimulus.
