Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Breathing is a complex motor task that needs to be coordinated at all times while we eat, speak, exercise and even during sleep. The breathing muscles are controlled automatically from the brainstem during normal breathing but can also be controlled voluntarily from the motor cortex.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
