CBSE Class 10 Science 2019 · Paper 31/3/3 · Question 5(a)
List in tabular form two differences between reflex action and walking.
Answer
A reflex action is involuntary and controlled by the spinal cord; walking is voluntary and controlled by the brain.
(i) Nature: A reflex action is an involuntary action - it happens automatically, without our will; walking is a voluntary action - we do it by our will.
(ii) Control: A reflex action is controlled by the spinal cord; walking is controlled by the brain (started by the cerebrum, with posture and balance maintained by the cerebellum).
