Make a concept map/organizer to relate the actions of the nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems to a stimulus. For example, when you touch something hot or when a ball flies into your face - What does your body do?

Although you will not make a poster for this activity, you should prepare a paragraph or two which explains the process. Underline the key terms and make sure that their meaning is clear in your writing. Items to include might be: pathway of a nerve impulse, types of nerve cells that are involved, how muscles move bone, and the type of muscle cell involved in moving a finger or blinking an eye.

Let's take the example of touching something hot:

there's sensory nerves in all our body, including our hands and fingers. When a finger touches something hot. a nerve impulse will be born due to the stimulus and will be transmitted from the sensory nerves in the finger to the CNS (central nervous system)

The CNS will integrate the information, then transmit nerve impulses through the motor nerves which goes to the muscles of the finger (which are skeletal muscles) to order them to contract, to avoid the contact between the finger and the hot thing. (the same map for the blinking eye)
