When you step on a sharp object, you move your foot away at once. What type of response is this?

It is innate response (reflex), automatic, occurs through the stimulation of specific receptors, nerve endings and sensory nerve stimulation of effector organs (mainly muscles) through the motor nerves or autonomous. Reflex reaction proceeds without awareness, it means that the nerves cause reflex (stimulate muscles) before notifying the brain.

Stepping on a sharp object causes a quick reflex response, which is an involuntary action to protect the body from injury. The nerves detect the pain and send signals to the spinal cord, which immediately directs the muscles to move the foot away. This reflex occurs without involving the brain at first, allowing for a rapid reaction.
