    Reflex actions are formed instantaneously in response to the stimulus that has no time to think. For instance the sensory nerves that detect the heat are connected to the nerves that  move the muscles of the hand. Such a connection of detecting the signal from the nerves (input) and responding to it quickly (output) is known as reflex arc.
    Reflex action are generated in spinal cord and the information also reaches brain. This
    helps the brain to record this event and remember it for future use. Brain helps the person to get awareness of the stimulus and prevent himself from that situation again.

    Reflex action are the involuntary actions that occur in response to stimuli. They occur
    without involvement of conscious areas of brain. All the reflex actions are unconscious
    actions. Reflex action occurs brain and spinal cord of central nervous systems.
    On the other hand voluntary actions are those which occur under the control of cerebellum of the brain Walking is learnt as we grow. Walking is controlled by brain as is used when
    required.
