    The document is a biology worksheet about the nervous system and reflex arcs. It contains 8 multiple choice and short answer questions about the following key points: 1. The nervous system carries electrical signals called nerve impulses. 2. The two main components of the central nervous system are the brain and spinal cord. 3. A reflex is an automatic response that occurs rapidly without conscious thought, in response to a stimulus, and helps protect the body. 4. When a stimulus is detected, the reflex arc follows a sequence from receptor to sensory neuron to CNS to motor neuron to effector to create a response.
