Identify and describe the function of each of the components of a spinal reflex arc
What will be an ideal response
1. Receptor: responds to specific changes in body conditions by producing graded potential; 2. Sensory neuron: conducts impulse from receptor to integrating center in gray matter of spinal cord; 3. Integrating center: site of synapse between sensory and other neurons; decision-making area in gray matter of spinal cord; 4. Motor neuron: conducts impulse from integrating center to effector; 5. Effector: is the structure that promotes change in body conditions by responding to motor nerve impulse, such as a muscle or a gland.
