Provide one example of the interrelatedness between the CNS and the PNS. How do reflex arcs connect these systems? Be sure to identify the parts of a reflex arc in your answer.

Question

Please make this super short and simple also super super short plsss

Answer 1

An example of interrelatedness between the CNS and PNS is the reflex arc.

In a reflex arc, a stimulus (like touching something hot) is detected by a sensory receptor (PNS). The sensory neuron sends the signal to the spinal cord (CNS), which processes it and sends a response through a motor neuron (PNS) to a muscle, causing it to withdraw from the heat.

Parts of a reflex arc:

1. Sensory receptor - detects the stimulus
2. Sensory neuron - carries signal to the CNS
3. Interneuron (in the CNS) - processes the signal
4. Motor neuron - sends the response
5. Effector (muscle) - carries out the response
