# Understanding Reflexes

## A. Define Reflex:

[Provide a description or definition here based on your curriculum or reference materials.]

## B. Fill in the following boxes of a reflex arc:

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram represents a reflex arc with five blank labeled portions that need to be filled. It is typically structured in this order:
1. **Receptor**: Detects a stimulus.
2. **Sensory Neuron**: Conducts the nerve impulse to the spinal cord or brain.
3. **Integration Center**: The point where the sensory input is interpreted and a response is decided (usually in the spinal cord or brain).
4. **Motor Neuron**: Conducts the command impulse from the central nervous system to the effector.
5. **Effector**: Executes the response (like a muscle or gland).

*Note: Specific responses may vary depending on the instructional content being used.*

## C. Deglutition/Swallowing Reflex

Attempt to swallow 10 times in rapid succession. Could you do this? Why or why not?

[Encourage students to analyze their experience and provide reasoning to explore the physiological limitations or possibilities concerning the swallowing reflex.]
