Reflex Response
Description
A reflex is an involuntary reaction to a stimulus. For example, if you're cooking hot oatmeal and it splatters and spills on you, your withdrawal reflex can save your hand from serious injury. When the hot oatmeal contacts your hand, pain receptors signal your spinal cord, which signals your arm muscles to pull away your hand. Because your arm flexes as it withdraws, this reflex is called the flexor, or withdrawal, reflex. Many other reflexes also protect you.
