Explanation

Reflexes in medicine refer to automatic responses that our bodies make to certain stimuli. For example, if you touch something hot, you'll quickly pull your hand away without even thinking about it. This is because your nervous system sends a message to your muscles to react immediately. These reflexes help protect our bodies from harm.
