Question

Which one is not a reflex action?

• A. Closing the eye lids suddenly
• B. Release of saliva
• C. Obeying the order
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Obeying the order

The reflex action is defined as the sudden and involuntary movements that are controlled directly by the spinal cord. These actions do not require memory generation most of the time, like blinking of the eyes when something comes close to them. These are called the unconditional reflexes. Some reflex actions may involve learning and these are call the conditional reflexes. For example release of saliva at the sight of the food. Obeying the orders is the voluntary set of actions performed under the command of the somatic nervous system. It involves memory generation so as to remember the tasks and voices.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Obeying the order'
