There is no one 'neuron' - different aspects of your foot are supplied by different nerves, each of which contains many neurons. Mainly the innervation of the foot comes from the tibial and the common peroneal (fibular) nerves, both of which branch from the sciatic nerve.

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.

Does the motor neuron send a signal to or from the muscle fiber?

Sensory Neuron sends info to the brain while the motor sends the info to the muscle fiber.The motor neurone sends a signal from the CNS or PNS to the effector muscle or gland. Therefore the motor neurone sends a signal TO the muscle fibre.
