Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

ADH is a hormone made by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. It acts on renal collecting ducts via V2 receptors to increase water permeability, which leads to decreased urine formation. This increases blood volume, cardiac output and arterial pressure.
