Question

A person sees a ball and kicks it, in part because of actions of the nervous system. Using the parts of the nervous system listed, describe the path of nerve impulses that cause the person to (1) see the ball and (2) kick the ball.

Answer 1

In the case of seeing a ball and kicking it can be expressed in the actions of the nervous system as follows:

Part 1. Eyes see the ball and send signals with the help of sensory neurons that carry this message to the spinal cord.

PArt 2. The spinal cord processes the information and sends an "impulse" of kicking the ball that will transfer to motor neurons that transfer it to the brain and then muscles.

Sensory neurons --> spinal cord --> motor neurons --> brain---->leg muscles
