Question

Difference between reflex action and involuntary action.

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

Reflex actions are rapid automatic response to a stimulus without the conscious involvement of the brain.
E.g.: Withdrawing the hand from a hot object.

Involuntary actions are controlled by the brain but not by our conscious thinking.
E.g.: Beating of the heart, peristaltic movement of the intestines.

Regards.
