Jill stepped on a tack. Which part of the central nervous system caused her foot to move off the tack quickly in a reflex response?

Miracrown (miracrown):

Do you know?

OpenStudy (anddegal):

no

OpenStudy (anddegal):

spinal cord?

Miracrown (miracrown):

So this question isn't talking about the pain Jill feels. That's important because it's a different set of nerve. This is talking about the reflex arc

Miracrown (miracrown):

Yes, spinal cord is correct. Good work!

OpenStudy (anddegal):

Miracrown (miracrown):

Its pretty interesting, the signal never actually travels up to the brain!

OpenStudy (anddegal):
