Solution

The reflex arc describes the pathway in which the nerve impulse is carried and the response is generated and shown by the effector organ. The instant movement performed by the individual in response to the stimulus is known as a reflex action. The impulse is detected and immediate response is generated by the spinal cord. The response is immediate which is necessary in the cases of reflex actions. The reflexes of the different parts of the body are controlled by the spinal nerves.
