The correct answer is nervous and muscular systems.
The correct answer is: nervous and muscular.
The correct answer is the nervous and muscular systems.
The nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals from sensory neurons in your hand to the brain. When your hand comes into contact with a hot stovetop, specialized receptors in your skin called thermoreceptors detect the intense heat and send electrical signals through sensory neurons to your spinal cord and then up to your brain. Once your brain processes this information, it sends a signal back through motor neurons to your muscles, causing an involuntary reaction or jerk, to quickly withdraw your hand from the hot surface.
On the other hand (no pun intended), the muscular system plays a crucial role in actually executing the physical response. When the signal from the brain reaches your muscles, they contract, initiating the rapid movement that pulls your hand away from the hot stovetop. Both systems, the nervous and muscular, work together to produce this protective reaction to prevent further damage to your hand.
