AI overview

A reflex is an automatic, nearly instantaneous response to a stimulus that your body produces without you having to think about it, controlled by your nervous system. Reflexes matter because they allow organisms to respond quickly to potentially dangerous situations or stimuli through direct neural pathways called reflex arcs, without waiting for conscious deliberation.
