What is the difference between conscious action and reflex action?

Difference between conscious action and reflex action?
Conscious action is a voluntary action that is initiated and controlled by our conscious thoughts and decisions, while reflex action is an involuntary and automatic response to a stimulus that involves a specific neural pathway without requiring conscious thought. Conscious actions are typically intentional and involve higher levels of cognitive processing, whereas reflex actions are rapid and predictable responses designed to protect the body from harm.

Both require motor neurones to carry the nerve impulse to the effector in order for the muscle to contract carry out an action.
What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?

Is the corneal reflex a somatic reflex or an autonomic reflex?
This particular reflex is autonomic as the affected muscle, constrictor pupillae muscle, is a smooth muscle and not under conscious control. Typically if you can consciously contract the muscle, any reflex associated with that muscle is somatic in nature.
