Use the drop-down menus to complete the sentences.



Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends this information through a(n)
to his
. A(n)
picks up this information and carries it to a(n)
, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

Answer 1

Sure, here’s how you can complete the statements with the correct parts of a neuron and other components involved in the reflex action:

1. Information enters the neuron through structure A: dendrites.

2. Information passes through structure B: the cell body (or soma) to reach structure D: the axon.

3. Information leaves the neuron through structure C: axon terminals.

For the scenario with Santi stepping on a sharp rock:

Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends this information through a(n) sensory neuron to his spinal cord. A(n) receptor picks up this information and carries it to a(n) interneuron, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

(Note: In some contexts, the "interneuron" may be considered part of the spinal cord, which plays a role in processing the reflex action.)

Answer 2

A(n)____
picks up this information and carries it to a(n)____
, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

for the first blank ist either internueon and sensory
for 2nd motor and sensory neuron

Answer 3

In the context you've provided, the following fills in the blanks:

A(n) sensory neuron picks up this information and carries it to a(n) interneuron, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

So the complete sentence would be:

A(n) sensory neuron picks up this information and carries it to a(n) interneuron, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

This description follows the reflex arc pathway: sensory neurons transmit the stimulus to the central nervous system, and interneurons process the information and communicate with motor neurons to elicit a response.

Answer 4

the 2nd one is not INTER its sensory or motor

Answer 5

I see, thank you for the clarification. In that case, if the second blank must be filled with either "sensory" or "motor," the full completion would look like this:

A(n) sensory neuron picks up this information and carries it to a(n) motor neuron, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

So the complete sentence would be:

A(n) sensory neuron picks up this information and carries it to a(n) motor neuron, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

Thank you for your patience!

Answer 6

Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends this information through a(n)
✔ sensory neuron
to his
✔ spinal cord
. A(n)
✔ interneuron
picks up this information and carries it to a(n)
✔ motor neuron
, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

Answer 7

Your completed statement is accurate! Here’s a recap of the process you described, which correctly illustrates the reflex arc:

---

Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends this information through a(n) sensory neuron to his spinal cord. A(n) interneuron picks up this information and carries it to a(n) motor neuron, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot, causing his foot to pull away from the rock.

This accurately explains how the nervous system responds to a potentially harmful stimulus through a reflex action. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
