define reflex arc? & define reflex action

Open in App
Solution

The automatic action or response provoked by a stimulus is known as a reflex action. The reflex actions, however, show sudden responses and do not involve any thinking. A connection of detecting the signal from the nerves (input), and responding to it immediately (output) is called a reflex arc. A reflex arc makes instant and automatic responses possible.
