This type of reflex never in fact reaches the brain. The reflex arc begins with the perception of temperature, moves to the peripheral spinal chord, and is immediately sent back into a muscular contraction to move the hand away.

Why is it helpful that some sensory receptors quickly adapt but other receptors slowly adapt?
fast adapting sensory receptors (for example smell) adapt rapidly because a foul smell can not cause harm to your body the brain quickly gets used to it. However slow/no adapting receptors is for safety. If something did not hurt, you would continue to do it even though it causes harm to your body. If touching a hot stove didn't hurt, then we wouldn't ever stop. Our body does not adapt to this heat because it is giving us a warning sign to stop before we damage the skin.
