Skin.
they are located in the limbs, because the limbs are the effectors of the withdrawal reflex.
The sensory receptors of a withdrawal reflex are located in the skin and muscles of the body. These receptors detect a potentially damaging stimulus and send signals to the spinal cord to trigger a reflexive response, such as pulling your hand away from a hot surface.
The stimulation of sensory receptors in the skin can lead to various reflexes, including the withdrawal reflex and the stretch reflex. The withdrawal reflex occurs when a painful stimulus is detected, prompting an immediate withdrawal of the affected body part to protect it from injury. Additionally, sensory receptors can trigger other responses, such as the stretch reflex, which helps maintain posture and balance. These reflexes are mediated by the nervous system and help the body respond quickly to environmental changes.
Withdrawal reflex or flexor reflex employs sensory neuron, interneuron and motor neuron.
Sensory receptors.
The interneurons involved in a withdrawal reflex are located in the spinal cord. These interneurons receive signals from sensory neurons that detect the painful stimulus and transmit signals to motor neurons that cause the withdrawal response. The spinal cord acts as a relay station for these signals, allowing for a quick and automatic response to potential harm.

Reflex
In the human being, it is the eye. Hence the ancient method of "stick a needle in your eye" to prove death. No reflex, no life.
The withdrawal reflex, such as the withdrawal of a hand from a hot stove, involves at least one interneuron placed between the sensory neuron carrying the pain signal and the motor neuron causing the muscle to move away from the source of the pain.
Yes, a withdrawal reflex typically involves a converging circuit in the spinal cord where sensory input from multiple sensory neurons converge onto a single motor neuron. This allows for a rapid and coordinated response to a potentially harmful stimulus.
