Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A monosynaptic reflex is, typically, a reflex that does not involve the brain. See Figure 2. There is no association neuron in the spinal cord; therefore, information does not go to the brain. An example of a monosynaptic reflex is the patellar reflex, sometimes called the knee‐jerk reflex.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reflex action is an action provided in response to a stimulus from the environment. It is an immediate action taken without much thinking and it does not have our control. The spinal cord is responsible for the response of the body because the impulse has not reached the brain till then.
