Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -We have reflex actions to help prevent injury to our bodies, so it is important that they occur quickly and involuntarily. For example, if you were to put your hand onto something hot, it would immediately jerk away without you having to think about it or make a conscious decision to move it.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a reflex action, the brain plays no part. The spinal cord, which reacts without thinking about how to respond to stimuli, is in charge of these automatic actions. It elicits no meaningful response in the brain.
