Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The reflexes are immediate or automatic involuntary action for the response of an external stimulus. The reflex of external stimuli sends signals through nerves to reach the spinal cord for an immediate action. The reflexes comprises four important criteria, such as quick (involves minimal synaptic delay), involuntary (automatic in nature), stereotyped reactions of muscles (predictable responses), and stimulation (response against sensory input).
