13. A withdrawal reflex The stimulus is the heat from the hot object The stimulus is detected by receptors in the dermis of the skin. Since these sensory cells respond to temperature, they are called thermoreceptors.
14. A withdrawal reflex The stimulus is the heat from the hot object The stimulus is detected by receptors in the dermis of the skin. Since these sensory cells respond to temperature they are called thermoreceptors . The thermoreceptors initiate nerve impulses that pass to the spinal cord along a sensory neurone.

The thermoreceptors initiate nerve impulses that pass to the spinal cord along a sensory neurone . sensory neurone cell body grey matter (neurone cell bodies) spinal cord white matter (neurone axons) The sensory neurone enters the spinal cord via the dorsal branch of the spinal nerve and forms a synapse with a relay neurone, inside the grey matter
20. A withdrawal reflex The stimulus is the heat from the hot object The stimulus is detected by receptors in the dermis of the skin. Since these sensory cells respond to temperature they are called thermoreceptors . The thermoreceptors initiate nerve impulses that pass to the spinal cord along a sensory neurone . sensory neurone cell body grey matter (neurone cell bodies) spinal cord white matter (neurone axons) The sensory neurone enters the spinal cord via the dorsal branch of the spinal nerve and forms a synapse with a relay neurone, inside the grey matter The short relay neurone forms a synapse with a motor neurone that leaves the spinal cord via the ventral root of the spinal cord.

Since these sensory cells respond to temperature they are called thermoreceptors . The thermoreceptors initiate nerve impulses that pass to the spinal cord along a sensory neurone . sensory neurone cell body grey matter (neurone cell bodies) spinal cord white matter (neurone axons) The sensory neurone enters the spinal cord via the dorsal branch of the spinal nerve and forms a synapse with a relay neurone, inside the grey matter The short relay neurone forms a synapse with a motor neurone that leaves the spinal cord via the ventral root of the spinal cord. The motor neurone carries the impulse to an effector, in this case muscles in the arm, which contract to withdraw the hand from the hot object. This action is known as the response.
