Mammalian nervous system — practice question

A person blinks when an insect enters their eye. What causes this reflex action?

  • Amuscles in the eyelid cause the eye to blink  impulses are sent down the motor neurones  relay neurones  sensory neurones  receptor cells in the cornea detect the insect
  • Bmuscles in the eyelid cause the eye to blink  impulses are sent down the sensory neurones  relay neurones  motor neurones  receptor cells in the retina detect the insect
  • Creceptor cells in the retina detect the insect  impulses are sent down the relay neurones  sensory neurones  motor neurones  muscles in the eyelid cause the eye to blink
  • Dreceptor cells in the cornea detect the insect  impulses are sent down sensory neurones  relay neurones  motor neurones  muscles in the eyelid cause the eye to blink
