Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simple reflexes are those in which nerve impulses travel through the spinal cord only and do not reach the brain.
Most reflex pathways involve impulses traveling to and from the brain in ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord.
Sensory impulses enter the dorsal horns of the spinal cord and carry the signal to the brain.
Motor impulses originate in the brain and leave through the ventral horns of the spinal cord. 
The major parts of the brain are the cerebrum (associated with movement and sensory input) the cerebellum (responsible for muscular coordination).
