What part of the spinal cord acts as the center for simple reflex activity?
The gray matter is the center for simple reflex activity.Reflexes are rapid, automatic responses to stimuli that "buy time" for the planning and execution of more complex responses that are often consciously directed.The fastest reflexes are somatic motor reflexes that (1) involve myelinated axons, (2) involve only one segment of the spinal cord or one nucleus of the brain, and (3) are monosynaptic.

What is the difference between a simple spinal reflex and a complex reaction?
Simple spinal reflex is when the afferent receptor synapses directly with an efferent neuron and subsequently an effector cell/tissue. This will all take place in the spinal cord. A complex reaction will involve an intermediary interneuron or even the brain for 'processing' before synapsing with an efferent neuron and target tissue.
