Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer: If you put your hand on a red-hot piece of metal, the immediate response of pulling it away would be an example of a reflex.

Explanation of Solution

Reflexes are automatic, rapid, preprogrammed, involuntary responses of a gland or muscle to a stimulus. It includes five components that are arranged in a reflex arc. These five components include receptor, sensory neuron, an integration center, motor neuron, and effector. The involuntary activities are facilitated by autonomic reflex arcs in response to a specific stimulus. Thus, when an individual puts his or her hand on a red-hot piece of metal, the sudden response of withdrawing the hand is an example of reflex.
