1. COMPONENTS & FUNCTIONS

Spinal cord
A SPIDER ON YOUR KNEE
A. Your body first recognizes that thing as a spider.
B. Other interneurons pass that signal to neurons that carry it up your spinal
cord to your brain.
C. The signal travels up an axon and into your spinal cord, where it gets
passed on to several interneurons.
D. The connections between neurons interpret and split the signal so that
you can either scream, and start swinging your arms wildly about the spider
or remain calm, and remove the spider.
E. The spider’s legs activate your sensory neurons in the skin.
F. Some interneurons send a signal straight down neurons to your quadriceps
muscle on your thigh, triggering you to kick your leg out before you even
know what’s going on.
