– The sensory receptor in the skin receives the stimulation when a person touches a hot object.

 

– The dorsal root/sensory neurone transmits an impulse from the receptor to the spinal cord.

-The motor neurone then uses the ventral root to transmit the impulses to a muscle effector organ.

 

– The synapses that connect all of the neurones are where impulses are delivered.
