When you touch an object that is very hot you quickly pull your hand back. What is the correct pathway of nerve
impulses for this behavior?
A. Heat receptors in the hand, motor neurons, hand muscles, sensory neurons, brain.
B. Heat receptors in the hand, sensory neurons, brain, motor neurons, hand muscles.
C. Brain, sensory neurons, heat receptors in hand, motor neurons, hand muscles.
D. Hand muscles, motor neurovis, brain, sensory neurons, heat receptors in hand.



Answer :

Final answer:

The nerve pathway involves heat receptors in the hand, sensory neurons, spinal cord interneurons, motor neurons, and hand muscles for quick withdrawal reflex from a hot object.


Explanation:

The correct pathway of nerve impulses for quickly pulling your hand back when touching a hot object is:

  1. Heat receptors in the hand
  2. Sensory neurons
  3. Spinal cord (interneurons)
  4. Motor neurons
  5. Hand muscles

This pathway allows for a rapid reflexive response to protect the body from harm.
