Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Charles Ehler: incorrect.

Wendell Mullison: correct.

Robert Rodriguez: correct.

Judy Johnson:correct.

Explanation:

-Charles Ehler´s statement is incorrect because in order for a chemical company launch a new product it must pass several tests, that´s why products lasts years in proves, there are several tests such as the environment test that proves that the product doesn´t affect other species, or the human safety that makes sure the product doesn´t affect human health.Wendell Mulison´s statement proves to be correct with this as well.

-Robert Rodriguez´s statement  is correct because even though there are several tests that take care human healt there are just a few based on the damage pesticides produce to the land where are used.

-Judy Johnson´s statement is correct because science has proved that the resistant of parasites as being increasing with the products tat are used to combat them. Bacterias are an example of it, many drugs used against bacterias are now useless for some people because of the resistantthey have developed.

-One specie that can be taken as a pesticide can be the ground snail, that affects some plants and also may contain a parasite aclled "Hepatic fasciola" that affects sheeps and goats of farmers.

-One viable method to control pesticides is the sue of other species to control them, this specie has to be adequate to the land, for example, if a farmer wants to get rid of the ground snails because of the parasite and  the damage they do to their platings, they can introduce ducks to the farm that eat them without damaging the land with any kind of chemical product.
