Which one of the following best describes the order of a somatic reflex?
A) Somatic receptor → interneuron → afferent nerve fiber → efferent nerve fiber → skeletal muscle
B) Somatic receptor → efferent nerve fiber → interneuron → afferent nerve fiber → skeletal muscle
C) Somatic receptor → afferent nerve fiber → interneuron → efferent nerve fiber → skeletal muscle
D) Somatic receptor → efferent nerve fiber → afferent nerve fiber → interneuron → skeletal muscle
E) Somatic receptor → afferent nerve fiber → interneuron → efferent nerve fiber → smooth muscle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of a somatic reflex starts with the activation of a somatic receptor, followed by the transmission of sensory information through an afferent nerve fiber to the interneuron, where it is processed. Then, the interneuron sends signals through an efferent nerve fiber to the skeletal muscle, causing it to contract and produce a motor response. This sequence is represented by choice C.
