ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The withdrawal response (reflex), also known as the nociceptive flexion reflex, is an automatic response of the spinal cord that is critical in protecting the body from harmful stimuli.

Detailed explanation-2: -The withdrawal reflex is defined as an automatic withdrawal of an extremity (e.g. a hand) from a painful stimulus. Unlike deep tendon reflex, the withdrawal reflex is polysynaptic.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reflex rapidly coordinates the contractions of all the flexor muscles and the relaxations of the extensors in that limb causing sudden withdrawal from the potentially damaging stimulus. Spinal reflexes are often monosynaptic and are mediated by a simple reflex arc.

Detailed explanation-4: -4 Withdrawal to pain-pulls limb away from painful stimulus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reflex pain is a complex condition that occurs when the body’s pain withdrawal reflex fails to disappear long after the triggering event. The neurological phenomenon, known as the withdrawal reflex, occurs when the body executes a chain of reactions to remove an affected body part from painful stimuli.
