Summary Introduction

To review:

The comparison and contrast between flexor and crossed-extensor reflexes.

Introduction:

A reflex is known to be the involuntary, or in simpler words, it is an automatic action of the body, which reacts in response to a stimuli, without the individual even thinking about it. Inborn or intrinsic reflex is a quick and predictable motor response to the stimulus.
