  • a sensation is firstly detected in your own sensory receptors, - could be a pain reception indicating hot temperatures, electrical signal rushes along the dendrite then to the axon then to the axon terminal,
  • when info is passed to motor neuron, the signal reached the effector in this case of muscle fiber, which will then cause the limb to move out of danger
  • sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons. Motor neuron sends electrical impulses to an effector. Effector produces a response (eg muscle contracts to move hand away)
