Question

You see a mosquito land on your hand and swat at it. A signal passes through many parts of different neurons to make this happen. Which component of the nervous system is the last to be involved in this process? (1 point)
Responses

axons in motor neurons


dendrites in sensory neurons

axons in sensory neurons
axons in sensory neurons

Answer 1

The last component of the nervous system to be involved in the process of swatting at the mosquito is **axons in motor neurons**.

Here's a brief explanation: When the mosquito lands on your hand, sensory neurons detect the stimulus and send signals through their axons to the central nervous system. After processing, motor neurons then send signals through their axons to the muscles to execute the swatting action. Thus, the axons in motor neurons are the final component involved in carrying out the response.
