Expert Answer:
The path which is travelled by the impulse during a reflex action is called the reflex arc.
A reflex arc can be represented as follows:
Stimulus → receptor in the sense organs → afferent (sensory) nerve fibre → CNS (spinal cord) → efferent (motor) nerve fibre → muscle/gland → Response
