In a reflex arc, after a sensory nerve signal is processed by interneurons in the integration center, the signal goes to the motor neuron. The answer is motor neurons.

<h3>What is the reflex arc?</h3>

The reflex arc refers to the sequence of events since the body receives an external stimulus until it reacts.

In general terms,

1) A stimulus of varying nature reaches the body.

2) The peripheric nervous system -PNS- receives the stimulus and sends this information to the central nervous system -CNS-.

3) The CNS processes the information and sends another signal as a response to the stimulus.

Five elements compose the reflex arc, which are receptors, three types of neurons, and effectors.

The neurons involved in the mechanism are:

• Afferent or sensorial neurons

• Interneurons

• Efferent or motor neurons

Mode of Action:

  • <u>Ascending branch</u>

The stimulus reaches the body and is received by the specialized sensory receptors.

Afferent neurons, placed in the dermis and epidermis, receive this information from receptors, react and send it to the central nervous system as nerve impulses.

  • <u>Descending branch</u>

Interneurons in the CNS, process the information and send a motor response.  

Efferent neurons carry the response from the CNS to the effector organs, which might be either a muscle or a gland.

Finally, the target tissue responds to the stimulus as a contraction -muscle-,or as hormones release -gland-.

A motor neuron is formed by a cellular body, dendrites (cytoplasmic extensions that receive stimuli from other cells), and a long axon that is capable of conducting the electrochemical signals.

The axon brunches out into several extensions when it approaches the muscle.

At the end of each brunch, the axon is inserted in the muscle fiber surface, composing neuromuscular join.

This is the last part of the NS involved in the process before the muscle contracts.

After a sensory nerve signal is processed by interneurons in the integration center, the signal goes to the motor neuron, and from there to the effector.  

The corrct answer is motorneuron.

Yamill was researching early maturation in girls. Some of the information that she gathered regarded early puberty in girls and
oee [108]

The timing of human puberty is strongly linked to genetic and dietary factors. It is also linked to historical changes, and a secular trend favoring early menarche has resulted in an ever increasing proportion of teens attaining reproductive capacity at young ages. The causes of the trend, however, have not been unequivocally ascertained. More generally, we know very little about the factors in children's proximal environments that either inhibit or accelerate the timing of pubertal maturation. But, between 1984 and 1987, it has been distributed a survey with questionnaires to over 1,000 participants who were asked about their early family experiences and their physical development. The results from this retrospective study suggest that parental absence especially the absence of the biological father-is associated with early menarche.
