Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of the spinal cord in reflex actions?
  • Step 1: Understand that the spinal cord is part of the nervous system.
  • Step 2: Know that reflex actions are quick responses to certain stimuli.
  • Step 3: Realize that when a stimulus occurs (like touching something hot), it sends a signal to the spinal cord.
  • Step 4: The spinal cord processes this signal and sends a response back out to the body.
  • Step 5: This response happens quickly, allowing you to react without waiting for the brain to get involved.
