sensory data
Reflex does not belong because it is an involuntary act, while the other terms - predictable response, voluntary act, and involuntary act - all suggest some level of consciously initiated action.
Involuntary. No-one can sweat to order. Involuntary. No-one can sweat to order ie when they feel like it.
Blinking is primarily involuntary. The body's reflex system helps protect the eyes by automatically triggering the eyelids to close in response to stimuli like bright light or foreign objects. However, we can consciously override this automatic blinking process when needed.
Voluntary movement is primarily initiated by signals from the brain's motor cortex to the muscles through the spinal cord. These signals are generated in response to conscious thought or intention to move. Various neural pathways and structures, including the cerebellum and basal ganglia, are also involved in coordinating and refining voluntary movement.
The patellar reflex is enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps. When you contract your quadriceps, it stretches the patellar tendon, causing a stronger reflex response when the knee is tapped.
Voluntary??
A quick involuntary response to a sensory stimulus (e-g knee-jerk) is called
An involuntary response is when the doctor taps your knee with a hammer and your leg jerks forward. A voluntary response is when you are angry at your doctor and kick him hard by swinging your leg forward.

A voluntary response is under conscious control, meaning you can choose whether or not to perform the action. An involuntary response is not under conscious control and occurs automatically, such as a reflex or a reaction controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
No, voluntary responses do not control the activity of glands because gland activity is mainly regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which works involuntarily. Glands respond to various stimuli such as hormones, nervous signals, and environmental factors to produce and secrete their specific substances.
Voluntary responses are under conscious control, while involuntary responses occur without conscious control. Voluntary responses typically involve skeletal muscles, while involuntary responses involve smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, or glandular secretions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

A motor response is the physical reaction of an organism to a stimulus, typically involving movement or activity of muscles. It can be voluntary, such as deciding to move your hand, or involuntary, like a reflex action that occurs automatically in response to a stimulus. Motor responses are essential for interacting with the environment and can be influenced by various factors, including the nervous system and muscle coordination.
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.
