1. All reflex actions are involuntary in nature but all involutary actions are not reflexes as the beating of heart is an involuntary action but is not reflex action.

2.Reflex actions are v. quick but all involutary actions may not be v. fast as in heart beating.

3A reflex action may involve any muscle or a gland as we withdraw our hand on touching a hot object BUT all involuntary actions involve only smooth i.e., involuntary or cardiac muscles.

4. Reflex actions are at the level of spinal cord whereas the inv. actions generallly involve brain too

5. Nerves and autonomious nervous system can increase or decrease the rate of inv. actions but reflex actions can be controlled by great will only and are not usually controllable.

6. reflex actions are done to meet emergencies where as an inv.action may or may not be for just meeting an emergency but may be a critical lie process as circulation of blood, swallowing of food, movement of food in food pipe, etc.

7. A reflex action may be conditioned as in the case of salivation response by a dog on just hearing the bell (even when food is not supplied ) in Pavlov's expt. but an inv, action would not be generally influenced by external conditioning.

Hope it meets ur requirement !

Yes. Beating of heart, transportation of water, mineral, nitrients and food to different parts of body, conversion of light and sound into electrical waves , etc are involuntary but not reflex.

Whereas respond to stimulus, sudden closing of eye on seeing a sudden movement, sudden withdrawal of hand on touching a hot object- all are reflex becoz they happen due to action of spinal cord. Since we dont control then so they are involuntary.

Hope this helps u

Pls mark me as BRAINLIEST !!!!
