Answer:

The central nervous system  includes the brain and spinal cord.

The peripheral nervous system  carries messages between the brain and the body.

The somatosensory  division of the peripheral nervous system is responsible for receiving inputs like temperature, texture, smell, and taste.

The autonomic nervous system controls things that you do not often think about, like digestion and breathing.

The brain sends messages and commands back to the rest of the body through the spinal division of the peripheral nervous system.

Taste molecules are unique because different molecules trigger ? in the nose and mouth.

Rods and cones  are the major types of cells responsible for receiving light and translating light into nerve signals.

The optic nerves "cross over" from left to right and form an "X" at the optic chasm.

Explain what happens in the nervous system when you touch a hot pan in the kitchen. Your explanation should begin with the perception of temperature, and end with pulling away your hand.

When you touched the hot pan, you immediately dropped the hot object without thinking. The response you got was that when you touched the hot pan, it signaled your muscles to let go of it. It is a simple reflex arc. The receptors in the skin, fire an action potential, which travels to the spinal cord, and triggers an action potential, which withdraw the hand.
