What is the main function of interneuron?

interneurons are located in the brain and spinal cord. They are stimulated by signals reaching them from sensory neurons. they process that information and send a response through the motor neurons.


A cook touches a hot stove and quickly moves his hand away What are the two primary body systems that work together to produce this response?

This involves your nervous and muscular systems. When you tough the hot pan, a sensory neuron (nerve cell) will send a message to your central nervous system, which will relay the message through a motor neuron to your muscles to then contract your muscles and pull your hand off the hot stove.


What happens when your sensory neurons stop working?

You would not be able to feel anything so if you put your hand on a hot stove you wouldn't feel it but you would burn yourself badly, and you wouldn't have the reflex that the sensory neurons give you to pull your hand away quickly once you come in contact with heat.Elena


Can you burn wood from a Catalpa tree in a wood stove?

Yes, you can burn wood from a Catalpa tree in a wood stove. However, Catalpa wood is less dense and may burn faster compared to other hardwoods. It may produce less heat and could lead to more frequent refueling of the stove.


If you were to put your hand on the stove what system would react?

it is actually called a "spinal reflex" and is sensed and processed by the spinal chord which sends out a motor message. that's how we move our hand away without actually feeling the heat or pain as it doesn't go as far as the brain

What is the response caused by spinal cord interpreting an impulse from sensory receptor?

The only response by the spinal cord is not an interpretation but a reflex. A sensory impulse comes in and at the cord a reflexive arc occurs taking information to muscles or glands. The brain does the interpretation. You touch a hot stove and that info goes to the spinal cord which causes a reflexive action where the muscles move the hand away. All that happens before the brain gets an "incident report".


What stops you from being electrocuted if touching an electric stove?

When you touch an electric stove, you are generally safe from electrocution because the stove is designed to operate on a specific voltage and is properly insulated. The stove's metal surfaces are typically not live unless there is a fault, such as a damaged cord or internal wiring issue. Additionally, your body must complete a circuit with a ground or a different voltage source for electrocution to occur, which usually doesn't happen when simply touching the stove. However, caution is always advised, as faulty appliances can pose risks.


Realizing that touching the hot stove is dangerous and painful is reasoning?

This realization is an example of deductive reasoning, where the consequence of touching the hot stove (being burned and feeling pain) leads to the conclusion that it is dangerous. This logical process helps us understand cause-and-effect relationships and make informed decisions to avoid harm.


What happens when the brain reacts to the stimulus of touching a hot stove?

When the brain receives a signal from the nerves in the skin that touching a hot stove is causing tissue damage, it triggers a reflex to quickly withdraw the hand. This rapid response is involuntary and helps prevent further injury by minimizing the amount of time the skin is in contact with the hot surface.


How do you use classical conditioning to teach a child not to touch a hot stove?

Here is an example on how classical conditioning can teach a child not to touch a hot stove. Heat is a US; it is a naturally occurring circumstance to which the human body responds too. The body's reaction to touching something hot is the UR. When any human touches something hot, US, they quickly retort their hand away from the heat, UR. When a child touches a hot stove, which in this purpose should be considered to be a CS, they learn that touching this particular object, this CS, is touching something hot and painful which leads them to moving their hand away which in this case is a CR since the stove in particular is hot. The stove is a CS because it can be replaced, or generalized, for anything else that may be hot; which will have the same response. This response is an acquisitionbecause the UR to move away from something hot is incorporated into the CR of moving away from the hot stove. Extinction may occur if the curious child tried to touch the stove again, but it is not hot. The fear of pain is extinguished since the CS is not causing pain. However, the curious child whop touches the stove again, and this time it is hot again, will have a spontaneous recovery, and again have fear of touching the hot stove. Eventually, the child will be able to discriminate on when they can touch the stove, and when they cannot.-KR

What are the sequence of events that occur within the nervous system from the point you touched the hot stove with your hand to the point you jerked your hand away from the stove?

1. Sensory Receptors detect danger(eg. hot stove in this case) 2. Signal is sent through a sensory neuron to the spinal cord 3.Interneuron in the spinal cord relays the message to the motor neuron 4.Motor neuron sends a message to the effector(eg. muscle) 5. Hand jerks away Sensory neuron also sends a sinal to the brain. Sensation of the evernt is detected continuosly but usually after the defensive action has been taken.

Why is my stove top shocking me?

There could be an issue with the electrical connection or wiring in your stove, leading to a minor electrical shock when touching it. It's important to unplug the stove immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the appliance to prevent any safety hazards. Avoid using the stove until the issue is resolved.
