How does the nervous system function in reflexes?
In a reflex arc - sensory --> interneuron --> motor neuron
The sensory neurons of your peripheral nervous system (PNS) detect information in your environment and transmit it to your central nervous system (CNS).
your CNS is composed of interneurons that process this information and determine a response. This response is transmitted back to the PNS via motor neurons.
motor neurons carry the response signal to the appropriate tissue group for the reflex arc to be complete.

The nervous system functions in reflexes by using sensory neurons to detect stimuli, such as touching a hot object. The sensory neurons then send signals to the spinal cord, where interneurons relay the message to motor neurons. Motor neurons carry the response signal back to the muscles, causing them to contract and move the body part away from the stimulus. This process bypasses the brain for a quicker response.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
