A reflex arc does not pass through the brain. The somatic reflex arc and autonomic reflex arc are two types.

Midbrain in the Brain Stem
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
No, those are in the brain. The Brain Stem and the Spinal Cord are for reflexes and transmitting nervous messages to the brain.
The left brainial artery.
There are a couple of experiments that have been carried out to show how complex polysynaptic reflexes are. Firstly, an experiment was carried out with a bird after its brain had been removed. It was expected that the bird would not be able to fly. However, it managed to fly to the nearest ledge. This shows that flying does not require motor cortex. Secondly, an experiment was carried out with a cat that had its spinal cord cut. The cat still withdrew its paw when it was subject to painful stimuli.
They are. The previous answer is wrong
True
Long reflexes
Midbrain in the Brain Stem
Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses or impulses. Most reflexes do not involve the brain, however, more complex reflexes have to involve the brain in order to process the reflexes. An example of this would be blinking the eye. This is a complex reflex and it must involve the brain. Also, you must take in the place the reason why reflexes do not involve the brain: because it could cause serious damage to the body. Complex reflexes will not cause serious damage if it uses to brain to produce the impulse.

normally as you get older your reflexes are much slower because your brain is much slower.
