Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reflexes are movements that are initiated by sensory input and are integrated primarily in the spinal cord, without requiring conscious thought or involvement of the cerebral cortex. Option B is incorrect as it states that movements are integrated in the cerebral cortex, which is not true for reflexes. Option C is incorrect as it suggests that reflexes and voluntary movements are combined, when in fact they are distinct categories of movement.
