Reorder

Drag to correctly order the steps that occur in the neurons when reacting to a stimulus, such as touching something hot.

Receptors in your hand register that the item is hot.

Sensory neurons carry the message of heat to the spinal cord.

Relay neurons in the spinal cord select an appropriate response.

A response is communicated to the motor neurons, which causes a reaction in your hand.
