Explanation / Answer

The reflex that results in one quickly removing one’s hand from a hot stove is the flexor reflex.

The hot stove is the stimulus that triggers the motor neuron.

The afferent neuron synapses with a interneuron which then synapses with the efferent neuron

This makes it a polysynaptic reflex arc.

If the elbow flexors remove one’s hand from the stimulus, those muscles are the effectors

The elbow extensors are inhibited to allow the response. These muscles are the reciprocal innervation
