Spinal cord:

It is the part of the central nervous system which extends from the base of the brain and controls the reflex below the neck.

Effector:

It is a muscle or a gland that responds to the motor information transmitted from the central nervous system via the motor neuron.

Motor neuron:

It has a short dendrite and long axon and conducts impulses from the central nervous system to an effector.

Sensory neuron:

It has long dendrites and a short axon and conducts impulses to the central nervous system from the sensory receptors.

Hence, the terms in the correct order in a logical sequence of a reflex arc are Receptor, Sensory neuron, Spinal cord, Motor neuron, Effector
