Reflex actions are controlled by :
A. The cells
B. The Spinal Chord
C. The Brain
D. The Nerves
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This allows for faster reflex actions to occur by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Biology
the decision making areas are NOT involved in the reflex arc, thus the sensory information is processed at the level of the spinal cord i.e. without involvement of the brain.
(your brain receives the painful stimulus but the reflex arc retracts your hand without direct input from the brain)
