What is an independent variable?
Alexus [3.1K]
The <em>independent </em>variable is the variable that you change and control in your experiment. The <em>dependent</em> variable is the one you don't have control over and is affected by how the independent variable reacts.

For Example:
Let's say you're doing an experiment seeing how different sugars affect the density of cupcakes. The type of sugar you add would be the independent variable, because you are choosing it. The density would be the dependent variable, since it depends on the sugar used.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

First the proprioceptors found in the tissues will capture tissue damage and the presence of a continuity solution in the skin, then these receptors will activate the afferent pathway, which is the pathway of pain, which is sensory.

This stimulus that ascends to the central nervous system activates the "flight" mechanism in the face of pain (it is also known as the withdrawal mechanism).

It is in this way that a stimulation is sent to the alpha motor neuron in the form of an action potential as an efferent pathway to the skeletal muscles of the foot and the damaged leg, so that an automatic and involuntary muscle contraction is generated in a matter of millisemas of second after the damage, so the foot is removed from the damage area.

Explanation:

The withdrawal mechanism is a reflex that the human acquires before pain, that is why it is the muscular contraction is automatic and fast once the pain occurs.

So as a summary: 1 - the proprioceptors of the damaged tissue are activated 2- the signal of tissue damage rises as afferent to the CNS 3- the CNS responds by activating a signal that will be sent by interneuronal connections to the alpha motor neuron 4- the signal arrives as potential of action to the alpha motor neuron that innervates the muscles of the surrounding area to which it is damaged 5 - the muscles contract, generating the withdrawal of the limb.
