Illustration of the cells involved in a reflex arc. A reflex arc is an involuntary response to a stimulus (such as pain) that allows a quick action by by-passing the conscious brain. A sensory neuron (nerve cell, left) detects the stimulus and passes a signal to an interneuron (centre). The interneuron passes the signal to a motor neuron (right), which effects a response. | |
