Problem: The purpose of a spinal reflex arc is to:
1) carry information to the brain very quickly so that the body can protect itself.
2) interpret and make the brain aware of all types of pain and other dangerous messages.
3) connect all parts of the brain and spinal cord to one another so that the body can heal itself quickly.
4 ) process sensory information at the level of the spinal cord and not at the brain level.
