the relfex action consists of receptor and neurons communicating together. the brain is not involved the processing of this action. The basic pathway that the reflex arc follows is: stimulus (touching something hot) → receptor (thermoreceptors)→ sensory neurone → relay neurone → motor neurone → effector (muscle) → response (lifting your hand)
