What is a simple automatic inborn response to a sensory stimulus?

n biology, an automatic and inborn response to a stimulus that involves a nerve impulse passing from a sensory nerve cell to a muscle or gland without reaching the level of consciousness. Simple reflexes include sucking, swallowing, blinking, scratching, and the knee jerk.

Examples include walking, standing, the cat's righting reflex, and basic sexual acts.
