What are reflective actions?

Reflective actions are freely defined as any action that the body is carried out unconsciously. There are several different types of reflective actions, including some, which are reactions to external stimuli and others that regulate the organs and function of the body organs. There is also a theoretical class of reflective actions that can be learned, but their existence and mechanism behind them are discussed.

Many reflective actions occur in response to external stimuli, and most of them actually work without any involvement of human brain. For example, if a person stumbles into the camp and his hand falls into a campfire, he quickly slides him without thinking. This happens because the nerve signal from the injury travels through the body - when it reaches the spinal cord, it triggers an automatic reaction before the brain can ever get involved. The spinal cord responds by sending back another signal that causes a person to automatically pull his hand from the fire.

Thidruh reaction is also responsible for the known reflex of the knee jerky that doctors use to test nervousthe human system. In this case, the purpose of reflex is to help one to remain balanced while walking. Most of these types of reflexes exist to protect people from injury or deal with things that require immediate action. For example, people flash when something flies to their eyes, and it sometimes happens so fast that people don't even realize they are doing it.

Another type of reflex includes the ability of the body to regulate basic functions such as heart rhythm and breathing. The brain follows it all and keeps it without human knowledge, which is generally necessary for survival. The main thing that separates this type of reflective action is that there is no requirement for external stimulation.

Some scientists theorized about another reflective action called a conditional reflex. It is a learning process where people are experiencing something sufficient time and eventually develop a reflective reaction to it. Unlike most reflexes involving outsideStimulation would include the brain directly. The idea came from a Russian scientist named Ivan Pavlov, who figured out that it was possible to get the dog sliding when he hears the sound of the bell by constantly ringing the bell just before his feeding. Scientists generally agree that these types of reactions exist, but there is some debate about whether to be called reflexes.
