MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A reflex is an involuntary (say: in-VAHL-un-ter-ee), or automatic, action that your body does in response to something-without you even having to think about it. You don’t decide to kick your leg, it just kicks. There are many types of reflexes and every healthy person has them. In fact, we’re born with most of them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reflex action or reflex is an involuntary action in response to a stimulus. This is a spontaneous action without thinking. For example, we adjust our eyes when exposed to bright light.

Detailed explanation-3: -This quick response is called a reflex, and reflexes occur without conscious thinking or planning, meaning the brain is not involved in them.

Detailed explanation-4: -A reflex is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus. The reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus that does not receive or need conscious thought as it occurs through a reflex arc.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reflex action is an immediate and involuntary action taken against a certain stimulus. It is under the control of the spinal cord and is not controlled by the brain.
