Identify the correct order used by the central and peripheral nervous systems to respond to stimuli.

Information from receptors is sent to the spinal cord and brain by the peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system sends a message to the body part that needs to respond so you can react appropriately to the stimulus.

Receptors (sense organs, muscles, glands, etc.) receive stimuli from the environment or from inside your body.

The central nervous system sends out the processed information to the peripheral nervous system.

The central nervous system processes information received from the peripheral nervous system.

Final answer:

The correct order used by the central and peripheral nervous systems to respond to stimuli is: receptors receive stimuli, information is sent to the spinal cord and brain, the central nervous system processes the information, the central nervous system sends out processed information, and the peripheral nervous system sends a message to the body part that needs to respond.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order used by the central and peripheral nervous systems to respond to stimuli is as follows:

  1. Receptors (sense organs, muscles, glands, etc.) receive stimuli from the environment or from inside your body.
  2. Information from receptors is sent to the spinal cord and brain by the peripheral nervous system.
  3. The central nervous system processes information received from the peripheral nervous system.
  4. The central nervous system sends out the processed information to the peripheral nervous system.
  5. The peripheral nervous system sends a message to the body part that needs to respond so you can react appropriately to the stimulus.
