Q

difference between reflex reactions and conscious decisions

A

Reflex reactions happen automatically and quickly without thinking. They follow the reflex arc, where sensory neurons send a message to the spinal cord, which immediately sends a response back through motor neurons.
Conscious decisions involve the brain thinking and deciding before sending a message to act, so they take longer than reflex reactions.
