Solution: Involuntary and reflex actions are two different processes that occur in our body according to the circumstances.
Involuntary action | Reflex action |
Involuntary action is defined as action which is not in our control, or which we can not do by thinking them even if we want. | Reflex action is also defined as an immediate or spontaneous reaction which does not take time to occur or wait for processing by the brain. |
Speed of involuntary action is relatively slow than reflex action | Reflex action is rapid |
Involuntary actions are controlled by the brain. | Reflex action is controlled by the spinal cord. |
Involuntary actions are performed whole life Eg. heartbeat | Reflex actions produced only in response to any stimuli. Eg . blinking of eyes |
