herefore, if you were to touch a flame on a candle or a gas stove, neural activity energized by the heat would move to the sensory neurons and then into the interneurons and finally into your Spinal cord. The interneurons react by stimulating motor neurons into the muscles in your arm. Because the simple pain reflex pathway runs through the Spinal cord and out, your hand jerks away from the flame before your brain receives and responds to the message.This leads us to the role the brain plays throughout the Nervous System and the entire body. In the Nervous System, the brain receives and interprets information as well as decides responses. These reactions occur in thousands of neural networks located in the brain. To better clarify these networks and other functions the brain provides, Betty Ann will explain....
