When the information reaches the CNS and is processed, a(n) (4) ________________ response is sent through the (5) ________________ axons of the PNS system to skeletal muscles that are (6) ________________.

effectors

receptors
efferent
afferent

Respuesta :

Answer:

(1)  receptors

(2) afferent

(3) peripheral

(4) motor

(5) efferent

(6) effectors

Explanation:

Receptors are the nerves in your hand that react to a stimulus, such as heat, by sending a signal via the afferent axons to the Central nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord. The brain processes the information and sends a signal via the efferent axons to the muscles which are effectors that respond to the stimulus by making the hand move off of the hot stove.
