If you touch a pot that just came off the stove and it is hot, your body sends nerve signals or electrical impulses to the brain so that you move your hand. This process involves sensory neurons detecting the heat and sending signals through the spinal cord to the brain, which then processes the information and sends signals back to the muscles in your hand to withdraw it quickly. This reflex action happens almost instantaneously to protect you from injury.
