Summary Introduction
To draw and label: The pathway involved in a withdrawal reflex.
Introduction: Highly developed human brain along with the spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The main function of the spinal cord is to transmit impulses from the brain to other parts of the body and from other parts of the body to the brain. Controlling reflex activities is another function performed by the spinal cord. When an involuntary motor response toward an external stimulus takes place, it is known as a reflex action.
