The difference between a reflex and a voluntary muscle is simply that a reflex is autonomic response to a stimulus thus making it involuntary. This in direct contradiction to a voluntary muscle movement with is done by making the conscious decision to do so.
The difference between reflex and voluntary action is that a reflex occurs naturally in response to some sort of stimulus and voluntary action is something that is consciously carried out. An example of a reflex action is gagging and an example of voluntary action is flinching when someone is going to hit you.
The patellar reflex is inhibited
That will have to depend. Most lifting done by your body is voluntary because your skeletal muscle controls it. However, whenever something triggers the reflex arc in several of your joints, the muscle will react and lift.
Both require motor neurones to carry the nerve impulse to the effector in order for the muscle to contract carry out an 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.
The voluntary muscles of the eye is the extrinsic eye muscle that are controlled during the convergence reflex. The convergence reflex is keen on keeping the eye alert.
A conditioned reflex is learned through association, such as Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell paired with food. In contrast, an unconditioned reflex is an innate, automatic response to a stimulus without prior learning, like blinking when something comes close to your eye.
A reflex
· Increased tone in anti-gravity muscles · No muscle wasting · Paralysis of voluntary movements · Absent abdominal reflex · Babinski's Sign - plantar reflex · Deep tendon reflexes brisk, exaggerated/sustained clonus
No, it is a reflex. More specifically it is known as a flexion reflex.
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
