To review:

The difference between a voluntary muscle movement and a reflex.

Introduction:

The responses generated by the nervous system in response to stimuli are the voluntary response and the involuntary response. The involuntary response is further divided into two types, which are autonomic and reflex. A reflex is defined as the instant reaction to a stimulus, which is obtained with the help of the reflex arc.
