The correct answer is: nervous and muscular.
The correct answer is the nervous and muscular systems.
When your hand touches a hot stovetop, the nerve endings in your skin immediately send signals to your brain through the nervous system. These signals travel along nerves to your spinal cord and up to your brain, where they are interpreted as pain.
In response to this pain, your brain sends signals back down to the muscles in your hand through the nervous system. These signals cause your muscles to contract and jerk your hand away from the hot stovetop.
Therefore, the nervous system is responsible for transmitting the sensory information of pain and coordinating the movement, while the muscular system carries out the physical action of jerking your hand away.
