Answer:
The correct answer is option a) "sensory neuron".
Explanation:
Sensory neurons are a type of specialized nerve cells which main function is the conversion of external stimuli into internal electrical impulses that the body uses to react to the external stimuli. We feel pain as result of a particular sensory neuron called nociceptor. Therefore, if southern grasshopper mouse essentially does not feel pain when stung by the bark scorpion it is most likely the sensory neurons of the mouse are affected in this scenario.
A nerve is a bundle of fibers that receives and sends messages between the body and the brain. The messages are sent by chemical and electrical changes in the cells, technically called neurons, that make up the nerves.
