Question

What is the difference between walking and reflex action?

Answer 1

A reflex action, often known as a reflex, is an automatic response to a stimulus. This is a non-thinking, instinctive activity. When we are exposed to strong light, for example, we adapt our eyes. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a network of nerves that connects the central nervous system (CNS) (which includes the brain and spinal cord) to other body regions. The spinal cord and peripheral nerve system work together to produce reflex activity. This action does not require the use of the brain. A reflex arc is the path along which impulses travel during a reflex action.

Complete answer:

REFLEX ACTION	WALKING
Reflex activities are those that occur in response to stimulus.	Walking is a self-initiated activity.
These actions are controlled by the spinal cord.	It is controlled by the brain.
These acts are under your control.	Walking can be managed by altering the speed at which you walk.
These are actions that occur on their own.	Walking is not something that happens on its own.
The survival and protection of organs or organisms are the goals of reflex response.	Walking fulfils functions other than survival and defence.

Note:
Voluntary action is defined as an action that is performed with the participation of thinking. Walking, eating, jumping, and running are all examples of activities. These actions are consciously performed. Both the spinal cord and the brain are engaged, and they work together with the PNS to generate the motions that are required.
Involuntary actions are those that occur without the conscious or willing participation of a person. Involuntary actions include digestion, heartbeat, sneezing, and others.
The same areas of the brain control both involuntary and voluntary activities. Salivation, vomiting, and other involuntary responses are controlled by the hindbrain and midbrain. The motor cortex in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum is in charge of all voluntary actions in the body.
