Kicking your leg when your knee is tapped and quickly pulling your hand back when you accidentally touch a hot stove are both examples of <u>reflexes.</u>
Explanation:
A reflex is an involuntary or automatic action that the body does in response to a stimulus. Reflexes, such as kicking your leg when your knee is tapped or pulling your hand off when you touch something too hot, are possible due to neural pathways called reflex arcs that act on an impulse after a stimulus before that impulse reaches the brain, therefore why they are involuntary, as the brain does not send the order to the body to make that action.
