A simple reflex arc consists of a sensory neuron \(0.8\ \text{m}\) long, an interneuron that adds a central‑processing delay of \(2\ \text{ms}\), and a motor neuron \(0.6\ \text{m}\) long. Conduction velocities are \(80\ \text{m\ s}^{-1}\) for the sensory fibre and \(60\ \text{m\ s}^{-1}\) for the motor fibre. Each synapse introduces a delay of \(0.5\ \text{ms}\). Determine the total time from the moment a stimulus is applied to the muscle contraction, in milliseconds.
