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.

What is an ionic compound?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Ionic compounds are ion compounds. These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. Metals tend to lose electrons, so they have a net positive charge and become cations. Non-metals tend to gain electrons, creating a net negative charge of anions.

Mitosis &amp; Meiosis: Thinking Scientifically
REY [17]

Answer:

65536 cells

Explanation:

starting from 1 cell at zero minutes  there will be 1 (2^0) cell; 2^0 = 1

after 15 minutes                    there will be 2 (2^1) cells

after another 15 minutes ( 30 min)        there will be 4 ( 2²) cells

after another 15 minutes ( 45 min)         there will be 8 (2³) cells

after n number of 15 minutes                  there will be (2^n) cells

calculate number of 15 minutes in 4 hours

4 hours = 4 × 60 minutes

number ( n) of 15 minutes in 4 hours = (4 × 60 minutes) / 15 minute = 16

using the formula above and substitute 16 for n in the formula

Number of cells = 2 ^n = 2^16 = 65536 cells

You dilute your bacteriophage for plating 10^-6. You mix 0.1ml of the bacteriophage dilution with 0.3ml of bacteria and plate wi
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

Explanation:

Given -

Bacteriophage dilution = 0.1 ml

Volume of bacteria and plate with top agar  = 0.3 ml

Number of plaques = 46 pfu

Dilution (d) = 10^{-6}

Final concentration of phage stock is equal to

= \frac{pfu}{d*v}

Where pfu is the count of plaques

d is the dilution and v is the volume

Substituting the given values, we get -

\frac{46}{10^{-6} * 10^{-1}} \\= 46 * 10^7 pfu/ml
