Introduction: A reflex action is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. There are various types of reflexes. Simplex reflex is the most basic type of reflex.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The minimum number of synapse required in the simplest reflex.

Introduction: Synapse is defined as the gap between the nerve endings of the two neurons. The signals are transferred from one neuron to the other through these synapses which release neurotransmitters.
