Answer to Question 1

A
Accidents that are equipment related result from the malfunction, disrepair, or misuse of equipment or from an electrical hazard.

Answer to Question 2

D
A protective reflex response also occurs with pain. When a person is injured, a noxious stimulus from the skin travels along sensory neurons to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord where it synap-ses with spinal motor neurons. The impulse continues to travel along the spinal nerve to the skel-etal muscle, causing the person to withdraw from the source of the pain.
