Question

describe a simple spinal reflex.

Answer 1

A simple reflex contains only one space where information in the spinal cord travels between two nerve cells, called neurons. The space between two neurons is called a synapse. Thus, a simple reflex is called monosynaptic, where “mono” means “one.” There are four parts to a monosynaptic simple reflex.
