Answer: Written Below
Step-by-step explanation:
1Q.) What happens if you place your hand on a hot stove?
1A.) You will remove your hand immediately from the hot stove.
2Q.) Why do I move it away without even thinking of it?
2A.) You remove your hand due to a reflex. In this case due to a reflex arc. It is a type of mechanism that reflects that is made to keep your body safe.
3Q.) Where does it occur? What pattern of postsynaptic potentials would you expect to be initiated as a reflex in the cell bodies of the neurons controlling these muscles to your hand away from the painful stimulus
3A.) This occurs throughtout your whole body (Your nervous system) if to think of it in one way. To elebroate:
1. You get a Stimulus (A HOT stove)
2. Your Receprtors detect the stimulus ( Increased amount of temperature )
3. The signal is sent throught your Sensory Neurons
4. The signal is recived at the Spinal Cord
5. The spinal cord send back the signal ( put away hand from stove)
through Relay Neurons.
Which is really type of nueron that is used to allow sensroy and motor neurons to communcate with each other.
6. The signal get to the Motor Neuron.
Motor Nuerons allow humans do physical actions, such as walking, talking, breathing and etc.
7. The Effectors recive that signal and actually completes the task given by the spinal cord. (Removing the hand from hot stove)
8. Finally Response happens where we physically see that our hand is being removed from the hot stove.
The process may seem long. However, this all happens at a seed around ~100 meters per second!! Super fast!
We need these refelects to allow to live a functional life. Such as breathing, or hitting/running away if got scared (Fight or flight response) increase the chance of our body safelty.
4Q.) What are two other examples?
4A.) Get your finger slammed between a door and door frame resluting you pulling your fingure out. Second could be stepping on lego and jumping up out of pain.
