REFLEX ACTION
• Reflex is an involuntary and sudden response to stimuli.
• It happens to be an integral component of the famed
survival instinct.
• Most of the common reflexes are a response to all the
well trained, accumulated knowledge of caution that we
have internalized.
• It could be anything and ranges from the reflex action
of abruptly withdrawing the hand as it comes in
contact with an extremely cold or hot object.
• This action is termed as the reflex action.
