<p>Nerve impulse = An electrical signal that travels along nerve cells Reflex arc = A rapid and automatic integration and coordination of stimuli with the responses of effectors Stimulus = Something that triggers a nerve impulse Motor neurone = Carries the response to the appropriate effector</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Central nervous system = Processes the nerve impulse Peripheral nervous system = Consists of sensory and motor neurones Spinal cord = Part of the central nervous system Sensory neurone = Carries the impulse from the receptor to the central nervous system</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Nervous system = Consists of nerve cells that transmit nerve impulses Effectors = Muscles and glands that respond to the nerve impulse Neurones = Nerve cells that carry the nerve impulse Response = Action or behavior that occurs as a result of the nerve impulse</p> Signup and view all the answers
