Expert Solution

Step 1

The involuntary response that is made by the body against the stimulus refers to the reflex. The reflex behavior is primarily controlled by the control center, the spinal cord, which connects the brain and the spinal nerves.

The reflex action is involuntary and helps to minimize the damage that is caused to the body from potentially harmful conditions. The reflex action follows the general sequence without the involvement of the brain's conscious part as most sensory neurons which are responsible for reflex, synapses in the spinal cord rather than passing directly into the brain.
