- Reflexes - Physiopedia
Reflexes are the body’s intrinsic stimulus-response systems for maintaining homeostasis, and when performed and interpreted correctly are the most objective evidence within the neurological screen to localise the lesion to specific structures within the nervous system
- What are reflexes? Definition and examples - Medical News Today
Reflexes help the body maintain a constant environment, or homeostasis, and protect the body from harm or danger They occur without thinking through reflex arcs or neural
- Reflex | Physiology, Definition, Types Examples | Britannica
Reflexes include not only such simple acts as chewing, swallowing, blinking, the knee jerk, and the scratch reflex, but also stepping, standing, and mating Built up into complex patterns of many coordinated muscular actions, reflexes form the basis of much instinctive behaviour in animals

- Reflex Action – Definition, Types, Mechanism Examples
Reflex action, also known as a reflex, is a fundamental mechanism of the nervous system that enables organisms to respond rapidly to external stimuli without conscious effort or thought It is an automatic, rapid, and spontaneous protective response to a specific stimulus
- Reflexes – Boundless Anatomy and Physiology
