yes. as you grow older your reflexes can get worn out. this causes them to slow down
Fish do have reflex actions.
Reflex actions are not controlled by the brain.
spinal cordautotomicspinal cord in the central nervous system controls reflex arc and reflex action.
Voluntary actions are consciously controlled movements initiated by the brain, while reflex actions are automatic responses to stimuli that do not require conscious thought. Voluntary actions involve higher brain functions and can be modified based on individual intent, while reflex actions are typically quick, involuntary responses for immediate protection or survival.
Reflex actions do not require thinking, nor do the actions of involuntary muscles.
Involuntary and reflex actions
Most of them are controlled by the spinal column.

An involuntary action is a body process that occurs automatically regardless of external stimulus. In contrast, a reflex is an automated response to an external stimulus.
The Pupillary Light Reflex and the Corneal Reflex (or Blink Reflex) are two important reflexes because the Light Reflex prevents damage to eye compopents related to over exposure to light and also helps the eye to accommodate visually, when there is less light; The Blink Reflex prevents objects from entering the eye and lubricates the eye. Also, breathing and heart beat are thought to be reflex actions.
Man is responsible for his actions due to his ability to make conscious choices and decisions based on his beliefs, values, and intentions. This capacity for rational thought and moral agency allows individuals to understand the consequences of their actions and to be held accountable for their behavior. Personal responsibility emerges from the autonomy and free will that individuals possess in determining their actions.
The impulse in a reflex action goes directly from the sensory neuron to the inter neuron to the spinal cord, which allows for faster actions.
