## 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.]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb1d08191-c756-42c9-968c-0042e7e4bfd0%2Fe0f57675-bb61-4bbe-9633-df8d60e68dcf%2Fbke85ek.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
