Question

During reflex action, the sensory neurons do not pass directly to the brain.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The path taken by the nerve impulses in a reflex action is called reflex arc.
• In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.
• This characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain, although the brain will receive sensory input while the reflex action occurs.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
