The correct pathway of the neural signal in a reflex arc is afferent neuron, interneuron, efferent neuron. A sensory receptor in the skin detects a stimulus and sends an impulse through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. The sensory neuron synapses with an interneuron in the spinal cord, which in turn synapses with a motor neuron. The motor neuron sends an impulse through its axon to a muscle, causing it to contract and produce the reflexive response.
