Question

Someone touches your shoulder and you turn

around. Which sequence do your impulses
follow?
a. motor neuron, sensory neuron, CNS response
b. motor neuron, CNS response, sensory neuron
C. sensory neuron, motor neuron, CNS response
d. sensory neuron, CNS response, motor neuron

Answer 1

The sequence of impulses when someone touches your shoulder and you turn around is sensory neuron, CNS response, motor neuron.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence that your impulses follow when someone touches your shoulder and you turn around is:

1. Sensory neuron
2. CNS response
3. Motor neuron

When someone touches your shoulder, the sensory receptors in your skin detect the sensation and send a nerve impulse along a sensory neuron to the central nervous system (CNS). In the CNS, the impulse is processed and a response is formulated. Finally, the motor neuron carries the impulse from the CNS to the muscle, causing you to turn around.
