Q.Sharad touched a hot plate by mistake and took away his hand quickly. Can you recognize the tissue and its type responsible for it?

Step 1. The moment Sharad's hand touches the hot plate, receptors in his skin generate a nerve impulse, which is carried towards the spinal cord by an afferent (sensory) neuron — nervous tissue's impulse-carrying cell, entering via the dorsal root of the spinal cord.

Step 2. Because speed matters (to prevent burn injury), this signal is processed rapidly, largely at the level of the spinal cord itself, by association neurons (interneurons), rather than waiting for full conscious processing in the brain. …
