A boy accidentally touches a very hot object and immediately takes his hand away. In this reflex action, what is the effector?

• a heat receptor in his hand

• a motor neurone

• a muscle in his arm

• the spinal cord

A man injures his arm in an accident. Afterwards, he can feel objects touching his hand, but he cannot move his hand away from them.

What could cause this?

• Receptors in his hand are damaged.

• The nerve connection is cut only between the receptors in his hand and his central nervous system.

• The nerve connection is cut only between his central nervous system and the effectors in his arm.

• Both of these nerve connections are cut.
