How do the following processes occur? (AS 1)

We move our hand away from a hot object.

When we come in contact with a hot object by touching it, the sensory receptors of our hand detect the hot object. The information is carried to the spinal cord in form of a nerve impulse by the sensory neurons, which is then passed to a motor neuron. The motor neuron carries the impulse to muscle which then contract and we move our hand away from the hot object.
