Question

Your cat rubs against your leg, tickling your skin, so you reach down and scratch your leg. Which shows the correct order of signal production in the nervous system? (2 points)

Sensory somatic system; central nervous system; motor neuron
Central nervous system; motor neuron; sensory somatic system
Sensory neuron; central nervous system; autonomic nervous system
Central nervous system; sensory neuron; autonomic somatic system

Answer 1

Sensory somatic system; central nervous system; motor neuron

Answer 2

The correct answer would be "Sensory somatic system; central nervous system; motor neuron".

Environmental stimuli (such as tickling of skin) are detected or received by the sensory somatic system (sensory neurons).

The signals are then transported to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing.

The central nervous system then sends signals to the effector organ through motor neurons.

It results in the production of effects on or through effector organ (such as scratching the leg).
