When exposed to heat, the body's reflex is to move away from the heat source to prevent potential burns or damage to the skin. This response is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and is a protective mechanism to maintain the body's homeostasis.
Reflex action.
Yes, pulling your finger out of a fire is typically a reflex response to avoid further injury. The body's natural response to pain and heat is to quickly remove the affected body part from the source of danger.
When you touch something hot, the heat is detected by thermal receptors in your skin. This information is sent as an electrical signal through sensory neurons to the spinal cord where it synapses with interneurons. The interneurons then send a signal through motor neurons back to the muscles causing a reflex response to quickly move your hand away from the hot object, before the brain even registers the sensation of heat.
the knee-jerk reflex
A reflex sight provides a crosshair intended for quick, reactive aiming. In the heat of battle a soldier might not have the time for precise aim using the normal scope or crosshair. This is where a reflex sight comes in. It allows the soldier to react on sudden enemy movement and fire a quick shot that might not be precise but should hit the target.
Reflex action.
The reflex action of burning your hand would be jerking your hand away from the source of the heat

Shivering is a reflex triggered in response to hypothermia in which muscles shake in an attempt to generate heat. The energy expended during the shaking becomes heat.
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
Answer Reflex Angle
Pulling your finger back from a heat source is a subconscious reaction humans have to keep themselves from being burnt.
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
The patellar reflex is a type of stretch reflex that involves tapping the patellar tendon to elicit a contraction of the quadriceps muscle and extension of the knee. This reflex helps to maintain balance and stability.
The reflex that causes an infant to close its fist when the palm is touched is called the grasp reflex.
