A reflex action, is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus. In reflex actions, the signals do not travel up to the brain. The action is carried out by the spinal cord and the information about the action is sent to the brain. The reflex arc shows the pathway through which the impulses travel for a reflex action to take place.
