Question
you see a mosquito land on your hand and swat at it. a signal passes through many parts of different neurons to make this happen. which component of the nervous system is the last to be involved in this process? (1 point) axons in sensory neurons dendrites in motor neurons axons in motor neurons dendrites in sensory neurons
When you see a mosquito and swat at it, sensory neurons first detect the visual stimulus. The signal then travels to the central - nervous system. Motor neurons are responsible for sending signals to the muscles to initiate the swatting action. Axons in motor neurons carry the nerve impulses away from the cell body of the motor neuron to the muscles. Dendrites receive signals, so they are not the last part involved. Sensory neurons are involved in the initial detection, not the final muscle - activation step.
