Answer

Stimulus ➡ Touch Receptor ➡ Sensory Nerve cell ➡ Relay nerve cell ➡ Muscle ➡Response

Step-by-step explanation

  • When a body touches a hot or very cold body, a stimulus is generated.
  • Touch receptors convert this stimulus into a nerve impulse and transmit it to the sensory neurons located in the spinal cord (CNS) via peripheral nerves.
  • The impulse travels across a synapse to relay neurons
  • Relay neuron passes impulse across the second synapse to motor neurons.
  • Now impulse travels along motor neuron to reach the effector (muscle)
  • Muscle contract and hand is withdrawn quickly (Response)
