withdrawal relfex

Step-by-step explanation:

The withdrawal reflex (nociceptive or flexor withdrawal reflex) is a spinal reflex that aimed to protect the body, stimulated by the presence of damaging stimuli such as heat.

When a person touches a hot object, the heat stimulates temperature and danger receptors in the skin, triggering a sensory impulse that travels to the central nervous system. The sensory neuron then synapses with interneurons that connect to motor neurons. Some of these send motor impulses to the flexors to allow withdrawal.
