The feeling of the hot temperature from a hot object is carried from the hand to your spinal cord by the sensory neuron.

What are reflex actions?

Reflex actions are actions which are carried out without conscious thought by the brain.

Reflex actions are automatic and happen very quickly

Example of a reflex action is the withdrawal of the hands when it touches a hot object.

In a reflex action, the stimulus is carried by the sensory neuron to the spinal cord.

Therefore, the feeling of heat is carried to the spinal cord by the sensory neuron.
