Final answer:

The sequence of impulses when someone touches your shoulder and you turn around is sensory neuron, CNS response, motor neuron.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence that your impulses follow when someone touches your shoulder and you turn around is:

  1. Sensory neuron
  2. CNS response
  3. Motor neuron

When someone touches your shoulder, the sensory receptors in your skin detect the sensation and send a nerve impulse along a sensory neuron to the central nervous system (CNS). In the CNS, the impulse is processed and a response is formulated. Finally, the motor neuron carries the impulse from the CNS to the muscle, causing you to turn around.
