Alicia quickly pulled back her hand just as she touched the hot curling iron on the dresser. which neuron is responsible for carrying the message from the muscles in alicia's hand to her spinal cord, allowing her to yank her hand away from the hot curling iron?

The right answer is motor neuron.

A motor neuron, or motor neuron, is a nerve cell that is directly connected to a muscle and controls its contraction. It can act on a small or a large number of muscle fibers, the whole being called a motor unit. Motor neurons therefore control the movements of the body.
