If the dorsal root of a reflex arc controlling arm movement is severed, what part of the nerve pathway will block the nerve impulse?
Motor neuron
Sensory neuron
Interneuron
Receptor

Respuesta :

The sensory neuron is the part of the nerve pathway will block the nerve impulse.

The correct answer is option Sensory neuron.

The dorsal root neurons control the sensory function of the body. In case, the dorsal root nerve is damaged, it results in the loss of the sensory function.

The dorsal root neuron carries the message from the body or the peripheral nervous system to the sensory nervous system. So, in the given case, the injury to the dorsal root of a reflex arc would result in the loss of the sensory functions of the arm.
