Answer:The uterus has receptors for oxytocin, but not for cholecystokinin.

Explanation:

Both of the hormones are released and travel via same pathway towards the  uterus. The uterus responds to oxytocin but does not responds to cholecystokinin because the uterus has no receptor for this hormone.

Cholesystokinin is secreted from gastrointestinal system and is responsible for stimulating the digestion of protein and fat.

Whereas oxytocin plays a major role in the childbirth, sexual reproduction and social bonding.

Travka [436]

Answer:

Santi is walking barefoot through his yard when he steps on a sharp rock. The skin on the bottom of his foot sends  this information through a(n)  <em>sensory</em> neuron to his CNS. A(n) <em>interneuron</em> picks up  this information and carries it to <em>motor neurons of the CNS</em>, which sends a signal to the muscles in his foot causing his  foot to pull away from the rock.

Explanation:

The scenarios discussed in the question is known as a reflex action. In this action, specific receptors detect specific stimuli. For example, pain in the barefoot due to steeping on a sharp rock was the stimuli. This stimulus was detected by the sensory neurons. The sensory neurons turned this information into a chemical signal which was transported by the interneurons to the motor neurons of the CNS. The CNS detected the signal and gave information for a response as a result of which Santi pulled back his feet.
