2. Sensory nerves transmit the information to the brain.

3. The brain processes the information.

4. The brain sends signals to the motor nerves.

5. Motor nerves carry the signal to the hand muscles.

Explanation:

When we receive a stimulus by any of our 5 senses (sight, touch, smell, hearing or taste) our body will react to this. Once that the stimulus is received (in this case seeing the ball) a signal is send through the sensory nerves to the brain. In the brain the information will be processed and an answer will be given through the motor nerves in order to move the muscles and catch the ball. All this process is made in seconds.
