Answer 1

Sensory

Brain to the spinal cord

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer: A - Sensory

B - Spinal cord to muscle

Explanation:

Upon receiving the external stimulus, a sensory neuron is activated which does not directly pass into the brain, but instead goes to the spinal cord.

This brings about a quick reflex in which the spinal cord will send a motor neuron to the muscle to react to the external stimulus.
