What are the properties of reflex action?
The value of a reflex action is to survive. For example, if we place our hands on a hot oven. Our reflex would be to take our hand off and register the pain. OR A perfect example would be the rooting reflex. Which helps a breastfed infant find the mother's nipple. Babies display it only when hungry and touched by another person, not when they touch themselves.
