Stubbing your toe


Bam, the door closes

Your toe is in between

Oww, oww, you yell and jump around while holding your leg

 

Sensory nerves from your toes

Shoots up your body to the brain

Into the thalamus, where interneurons are

Oww, Oww, you yell and jump around while holding your leg

 

Brain sending message to the body

Using motor nerves

To your legs

To your hands

To your mouth

Oww, Oww, you yell and jump around while holding your leg

 

Legs lifts and jumps

Hands hold leg

While mouth yells oww oww

when holding your leg and jump around.
