When u get home, u smell cookies baking. U respond by walking toward the kitchen. Many signals move through ur nervous system in this process. Which component is involved first?

Question

Dendrites in ur motor neurons

Axons in ur sensory neurons

Axons in ur motor neurons

Dendrtes in ur sensory neurons

Answer 1

When you smell cookies baking and respond by walking toward the kitchen, the first component involved in this process is dendrites in your sensory neurons.

Here's how it works:

1. You detect the smell of cookies through the olfactory receptors, which are part of the sensory neurons in your nose.
2. The signals from these olfactory receptors (dendrites) are activated first and then transmitted to the sensory neurons.
3. After processing the information, the nervous system will send signals through motor neurons (axons in your motor neurons) to initiate the movement towards the kitchen.

So, the correct answer is: Dendrites in your sensory neurons.
