Q. 1. What body systems are used to pick up a pencil and write down
a few sentences in the space below? Fingers, Hand and Arms is not
what I’m looking for.
ANSWER: The systems are:
 NERVOUS SYSTEMS: this is because the brain sends out
commands to the body or it signals other parts which makes your
body move like walk or to pick something up. Nerves and muscles
usually work together so smoothly that we don’t even realize what
is happening. Messages from the brain carry instructions to motor

CELL MEMBRANE- and muscular systems are working in perfect harmony. The process

 transmissions through the nerves directly to the muscles of the
hand causing the hand muscle to contract this causes the fingers to
close and your hand to grip the pencil.
 MUSCULAR SYSTEMS: the muscular systems such as your
bones and muscles that keeps your bones together so you could
move your hands or walk.
-The hand muscles will be the effector because the muscles will
ultimately pick up the pencil. The effector muscles are connected to the
motor neurons so they can receive the information that the central
nervous systems was intending.

Q. 2. What are the three types of neurons? Explain each type.
