How does the pupil shrinking reflex protct the eye?

How does the mechanoreceptor reflex effect breathing?
The mechanoreceptor reflex is composed of the inflation reflex and the deflation reflex. The inflation reflex limits the duration of inspiration in response to stretching the walls of the lungs. The deflation reflex stimulates inspiration when the lungs are collapsed. Mechanoreceptor reflexes are insignificant during quiet respiration but they are very important during forced respiration. The mechanoreceptor reflex makes sure your brain knows when to stop breathing and start breathing, basically.
Why is the reflex arc important to protect the body?

Why do women gag when deep throating?
It's because of a gag reflex--a reflex contraction of the back of the throat, which is caused by touching the soft palate (the soft tissue that makes up the back of the roof of the mouth.) It's what keeps things from coming down our throat except for normal swallowing--it helps prevent choking. Everyone's gag reflex is different.
How does the patella reflex differ from the pupillary reflex?
The two are different because of what triggers the reflex. While the patella is triggered through the sense of touch, the pupillary is triggered through light.
Why cant a triangle have a reflex angle?
The three interior angles in a triangle must add up to 180o, and a reflex angle is one that is bigger than 180o. This makes it impossible for a triangle to have any interior reflex angles.
