GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A reflex action is an automatic (involuntary) and rapid response to a stimulus, which minimises any damage to the body from potentially harmful conditions, such as touching something hot. Reflex actions are therefore essential to the survival of many organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is important that reflexes occur without the need for thinking about them because there are things that happen to your body and forces acting in your body when you move that need to be responded to very quickly. Reflexes allow your body to react in ways that help you to be safe, to stand upright, and to be active.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reflex action is a sudden and involuntary response to stimuli. It helps organisms to quickly adapt to an adverse circumstance that could have the potential to cause bodily harm or even death. Pulling our hands away immediately after touching a hot or cold object is a classic example of a reflex action.

Detailed explanation-4: -1. Reflex actions are sudden involuntary responses which does not involve thinking. 2. For example, when we touch a hot object, we withdraw our hand immediately without thinking. The sensory nerves that detect the heat from the receptors in the skin are connected to the nerves that move the muscles of the hand.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are different types of reflexes, including a stretch reflex, Golgi tendon reflex, crossed extensor reflex, and a withdrawal reflex.
