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.

harkovskaia [24]
Facilitated diffusion. It is a passive transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell’s energy supplies. Instead, the energy is provide by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from one side of the membrane to the other. Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.

4) Fovea Centralis

Note: Answers 1 - 4 follows question pattern

Explanation:

The PUPIL is the hole in the MIDDLE of the IRIS of the eye, through which light passes to be focused on the RETINA.

The IRIS is the contractile membrane perforated by the pupil, which adjusts to control the amount of light reaching the retina, and which forms the colored portion of the eye

ACCOMMODATION is the change in the adjustment of the eye lens to help focus light ray.

RETINA helps to receive light rays that the lens has focused. It contains two cells: rods and cones

Fovea Centralis is at the center of the retina responsible for sharp and accurate vision, also it is where cones cells cluster.
