'Made of' is difficult to say, but the reflex arc includes within it Sensory Nerve Fibres, Receptor Cells and Sensory Neurones. The effect of these is to bypass the normal interface with the central nervous system, so that the body responds instantly to potentially dangerous stimuli.

What reflex kicks in if your epiglottis reflex malfunctions?

What is the name of an instrument used to demonstrate knee-jerk?
The instrument commonly used to demonstrate the knee-jerk reflex is called a reflex hammer. It is a small, handheld device typically made of rubber and metal, designed to strike tendons gently to elicit reflex responses. The most common reflex tested is the patellar reflex, which involves the knee-jerk response when the patellar tendon is tapped.
Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
Is a response made automatically called a reflex?

Explain when it might be adaptive for conscious thought to intervene and modify a reflex action?
Conscious thought might intervene to modify a reflex action when the situation requires a more complex or nuanced response than the reflex can provide. For example, if a reflex action is not appropriate for the current context or if a quick decision needs to be made based on multiple factors, conscious thought can override the reflex to ensure a more suitable response.
