Common mistake
Misunderstanding the Reflex Arc Sequence
Students often confuse the order of components in a reflex arc, mistakenly placing the motor neurone before the relay neurone.
To fix this, students should memorize the correct sequence of the reflex arc: stimulus, receptor, sensory neurone, relay neurone, motor neurone, and effector. Visual aids or diagrams can help reinforce this order.
