Key Points: Reflex Action

  1. Voluntary actions are performed consciously, while involuntary actions (reflexes) occur automatically without conscious control.
  2. A stimulus is any change in the environment that initiates a reflex action.
  3. Reflex actions are quick, automatic responses to stimuli and do not require conscious thought.
  4. Examples of reflexes include withdrawal of hand from a hot object, shivering in cold, and sweating in heat.
  5. All reflexes are triggered by sensory stimulation and result in either muscular movement or glandular secretion.
