Reflex Action:

1. A rapid or involuntary movement of the body in response to an external stimulus is called reflex action.
2. Closing eyelids quickly when dust enters the eyes is an example of reflex action.
3. The spinal cord is the main centre for reflex action because most of the apparent reflexes of the trunk and limbs originate in the spinal cord. Further, simple reflexes cannot occur without the action of the spinal cord.
