Reflex Action is defined as an unconscious, automatic and involuntary response of efforts, i.e., muscles and glands, to a stimulus, which is monitored through the spinal cord.
Mechanism of Reflex Action:
It involves the following steps:
(i)Receptor organ like skin perceives the stimulus and activates a sensory nerve impulse.
(ii)Sensory organ carries message in the form of sensory impulse to the spinal cord.
(iii)The spinal cord acts as modulator. The neurons of spinal cord transmit the sensory nerve impulse to motor neuron.
(iv)Motor nerve conducts these impulses to the effectors like leg muscles which responds by pulling back the organ away from the harmful stimulus.
