your answer is here!

if you satisfied then mark this as brainiest

All reflex actions are involuntary in nature but all involutary actions are not reflexes. For example - The beating of heart and peristalsis are involuntary actions, but not reflex action.

Reflex actions ar very quick but all involutary actions may not be quick.

Reflex actions are usually at the level of spinal cord whereas the involuntary actions generallly involve brain too

Reflex actions are done to meet emergencies where as an involuntary action is not done for emergencies, but to fulfill a critical life process as circulation of blood, movement of food in food pipe, etc.

A reflex action may be conditioned as in the case of salivation response by a dog on just hearing the bell in Pavlov's expt. but an involuntary action would not be generally influenced by external conditioning.

yes that is a lot of difference between reflex action and Involuntary action reflex action is the action which was present in our body from the time we were born for example the child how to sneeze this is a reflex action because we all know how to sneeze nobody tells someone how to cough and we all can we have not learnt it reflex action is an automatic response to stimulus for example when you pull back hands on touching in hot object or blinking of the eye when the dust particles enter your eye is a reflex action on the other hand the involuntary action is in your will for example to come or not is your will a person is there who had acquired a lot of skill after practice and now he can resist the heat of the hot object so it is an involuntary action beating of heart the parasitic movements of the food pipe are involuntary actions
