  • Receptors $\rightarrow $ Sensory neuron $\rightarrow $ Spinal cord $\rightarrow $ Motor neuron $\rightarrow $ Muscle.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Receptors $\rightarrow $ Sensory neuron $\rightarrow $ Spinal cord $\rightarrow $ Motor neuron $\rightarrow $ Muscle.
A stimulus received by the receptors present on skin, is transmitted to the sensory neuron which carries it to the central nervous system $($the spinal cord and brain$).$ A motor neuron carries the message from the central nervous system to the effector which could be a muscle, a gland or both.
