Reflex
rapid, involuntary motor response from an environmental stimuli
If we are unaware of a reflex it is most likely…
autonomic
Cranial reflex
reflex is integrated at the level of the brain via the cranial nerves
spinal reflex
reflex is integrated at the level of the spinal cord via the spinal nerves
