    When tendrils come in contact with any support, the tip of the tendril in contact with the object does not grow as rapidly as the part of the tendril away from the object. this is due to the fast that auxin secreted in the tip diffuses towards the side opposite to the point of contact. So this induces more growth on the side opposite to the point of contact. Thereby causing the tendril to circle around the object.

    Reflex arc are formed in the spinal cord itself although the information also goes on to reach brain where the encounter remains in the memory and make us aware of our action.

Closure of eyes exposed to flash of light, salivation at sight or smell of food, peristalsis, inspiration and expiration are few examples of cerebral reflexes.
