Detailed explanation-1: -Modern definitions of reflexes have captured the essence of Descartes’ description: an action or movement of the body that happens automatically, or without thinking, as a reaction to something. These definitions contain 3 core components: a stimulus, subconscious processing, and a resulting reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reflexes are faster than conscious thought because they involve fewer pathways of travel and information from a reflex does not need to travel to the brain. Instead, a reflex arc occurs at the level of the spinal cord which makes travel time faster than when the brain is involved in the decision making.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nervous system-Reflexes They happen rapidly, you don’t control them and the result is always the same. Most reflexes don’t have to travel up to your brain to be processed, which is why they take place so quickly. A reflex action often involves a very simple nervous pathway called a reflex arc.
