(A) Microscopic hairs etched along the tail of the decapod activate a somatic signal in response to the presence of an environmental stimulus. (B) The action potential activated by the somatic interneuron relays an impulse to the lateral giant (LG) interneuron. (C) The lateral giant interneuron executes a reflex by relaying impulses to various giant motor neurons within the abdomen of the lobster. The muscular contractions result in the lobster being able to successfully propel itself through the water, away from the site of stimulus.
