Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory nerves are responsible for transmitting sensations like touch, temperature, and pain. Damage to sensory nerves in Tasha's fingers means she may have difficulty detecting pain, making it harder for her to avoid possible damage. Reflexes (A) occur at the level of the spinal cord and involve motor nerves, not sensory nerves. Motor nerves within the spinal cord send signals to the muscles to move (C), but damage to sensory nerves will not affect this function. Knowing how to position her hand to pick up a cup (D) requires motor skills and memory, which are controlled by different nerve pathways.
