    Spinal cord

    (cross section)

    Motor neuronssend information

    from your spinal cord to your arm

    muscles, signaling them tocontract, jerking your hand away.

    Sensory neuronssend

    information from your (hot)

    fingertips up your arm and

    to your spinal cord.

    You touch the hot stove;

    the heat registers in your

    skins sensory receptors.

    In the spinal cord, information

    travels from sensory neurons

    to motor neurons.
