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.

What is the difference between cerebral reflex and a spinal reflex?
There are two major differences between the dura of the brain and the dura of the cord. The dura of the brain consists of two layers; the periosteal layer is attached directly to the inner surface of the skull and the meningeal layer is deep to the periosteal layer. In places, the two layers are fused together; in other places, dural sinuses lie between the two layers. There is no epidural space associated with the brain

Why is there a difference between the reflex and reaction times?
A reflex is an involuntary response to an external stimulus, usually to protect the body. A reflex is much faster than a reaction. A reaction is a voluntary response to an external stimulus, and can be trained to become faster through regular practice. An example of a reflex is when the tendon below the kneecap is gently tapped. This causes the leg to kick slightly forward. This reflex is involuntary. An example of a reaction is a hockey goalie catching a hockey puck. This reaction is voluntary.
