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.
