Question

(a) What is a reflex action? Explain with the help of an example.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Refles action is the quick immediate and automatic response to a stimulus.

Example:

• When we touch a hot pan the receptor present in the skin receive the stimuli which transfers through the sensory neuron to the spinal cord part of nervous system. Motor neuron carries it to the muscles in the hand which is the effector and as a response to the stimuli our hand withdraws from the hot pan.
