A cutaneous reflex is an involuntary reaction of the body to a stimulus applied to the skin. This reflex involves sensory receptors in the skin detecting a stimulus, such as pain or touch, and sending signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers a motor response. Common examples include the withdrawal reflex when touching something hot or sharp. These reflexes are crucial for protecting the body from harm and facilitating quick responses to environmental changes.
