Final answer:

The correct order for an autonomic reflex is sensory receptor, afferent neuron, preganglionic neuron, central nervous system, and effector cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order for an autonomic reflex from input stimulus to resulting action is:

  1. Sensory receptor: Receives the input stimulus from the environment.
  2. Afferent neuron: Transmits the sensory information from the receptor to the central nervous system (CNS).
  3. Preganglionic neuron: Carries the information from the CNS to the ganglion.
  4. Central nervous system: Integrates and processes the information received.
  5. Effector cell: Receives the signal from the postganglionic neuron and produces the response or action.
