Introduction

In the present paper, we present the findings received in two experiments conducted in class. Both experiments deal with reflexes. Before we proceed directly to the obtained data, it is necessary to give the general overview about the nature of reflexes. A reflex action is defined as an action involving an involuntary and spontaneous movement (Purves et al. 2004). However, the stimulus is needed to observe the movement. A stimulus can be expressed in several ways – most commonly it presupposes the use of some mechanical force on a particular part of the body.
