1. In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through 1. an effector 3. an interneuron 2. a receptor 4. the brain

2. To aid in the transmission of an impulse, neurotransmitters are secreted 1. along an axon 3. by a cyton 2. by a dendrite 4. into a synapse

3. If a motor neuron involved in a reflex arc is damaged, which event in that arc is least likely to occur? 1. contraction of a muscle 3. reception of a stronger stimulus by the sense organ 2. stimulation of an interneuron 4. secretion of a neurotransmitter by the sensory neuron

4. The diagram represents a neuron. Which number indicates the area where a stimulus is detected and an electrochemical impulse is conducted to the cyton?

1. 1 2. 2

3. 3 4. 4

5. In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through 1. an effector 3. an interneuron 2. a receptor 4. the brain

6. A change that initiates an electrochemical mes- sage along a neuron is known as 1. an effector 3. a response 2. a stimulus 4. an impulse
