The reflex arc enables the body to make rapid responses to certain stimuli. Which row in the table correctly identifies the elements 1 to 5 in the reflex arc shown above?

Answer:

17) B

In order to produce a reflex, a stimulus must be present.
So 1 is the stimulus.

Receptors sense the stimulus.
So 2 must receptor.

The receptors send electrical impulses to CNS via sensory neurones.
3 must be CNS.

CNS then relays these electrical impulses to the muscles via motor neurones.
4 must be muscle.

Muscle then contracts to produce a movement (response).
5 must be response.

Hence B is correct.
