Intro to Nervous System
... The process of homeostasis makes sure that the activities that occur in the body are maintained within normal physiological limits. In addition, our body constantly reacts to a multitude of signals, be it external or internal signals. Two body systems are responsible for dealing with these signals a ...

22 reflexes 1 - The reflex arc
... This is what you call a MONOSYNAPTIC arc If there are any interneurons in the way between the afferent and the efferent neurons, this is called a POLYSYNAPTIC arc. There can be anywhere up to 200 synapses in a polysynaptic arc In the childish diagram above, some important elements have been omitted: ...
