उत्तर १
Involuntary action is a set of muscle movements that do not require thinking. However, it is controlled by the brain, for example, the beating of the heart. On the other hand, reflex action is rapid and spontaneous in response to any stimulus. For example, closing one's eyes immediately when a bright light is focused.
