Question

The milk was on the stove. Rasika was engrossed watching television. She smelled something burning. She ran towards the kitchen. The milk was boiling over. She held the vessel with her bare hands but, screaming, she let it go at once. This activity was controlled by .................... cells. Special ends of .................... in these cells collected the information, from where it was transferred to the .................... and then towards the terminal end of the .................... The chemicals produced at the terminal end passed through the minute space i.e. ................... . In this way, .................... were conducted in the body and the process of .................... was completed by conducting the impulses from .................... to ..................
(Nerve, muscle cell, impulse, dendrite, synapse, axon, reflex action, cell body). Complete the paragraph.

Answer 1

This activity was controlled by NERVE cells.

During this scenario, the special ends in nerve cells called DENDRITES collects the information, from which the information is transferred to the branches of the nerve cell called CELL BODY, it is then transferred to other nerves through the terminal end named AXON.

The chemicals produced at the terminal end passed through the minute space i.e., SYNAPSE.

This is the process through which the IMPULSE is transported in the body and thus, the person gives REFLEX ACTION.
