in reflex action, does brain receive info?


No... Spinal cord does the job.... Though brain does receive the info after the action takes place... But reflex action is all controlled by spinal cord....

It's simple. The answer would be C. For the person to feel the pin prick, the nerve impulse must be able to travel to the brain. However, he can still move his leg as the sensory and motor neurones are perfectly functional (no anaesthetic block on them).
Hope this helped. :)

i am not getting it.. shouldn't it be at X??? because it is said that the person is not able to feel the pain but can respond.. so it should be at X.. if it would be at Z, how would he respond???

First of all, one should know that the ability to respond to a pinprick is an example of a reflex action, which is controlled by the spinal cord. If the anaesthetic block is at X, the person would not be able respond since a nerve impulse cannot be transmitted to the spinal cord (X is clearly on the sensory neurone). If it is at Y, again the person would not be able to respond as a nerve impulse would not be able to travel to the effector (Y is on the motor neurone). However, if it at Z, there is no hindrance in the reflex arc at all, that is, the nerve impulse can travel from the receptor to the sensory neurone to the spinal cord to the motor neurone and then finally to the receptor, enabling the person to exhibit a response. Secondly a person can only feel a pinprick if a nerve impulse is transmitted to the brain. If the block is at Z, no nerve impulse reaches the brain, thus the person does not feel anything.
Therefore, the person has an anaesthetic block at Z.
Hope this made you understand. :) :)
