Step 1

Reflex behaviors are innate behaviors that are considered as rapid and involuntary responses to a specific cue or stimulus, for example, knee-jerk reflex.

The function of reflex behaviors: In a specific reflex, sensory information tends to activate a particular receptor that ought to send certain information to an individual's CNS or central nervous system through a sensory neuron, a few levels of processing tends to occur in the "integration center", and therefore the response is being communicated to the specific "effector target" by the "motor neurons".
