Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of a reflex action? A. quickly withdrawing your hand after touching a hot pan B.passing food through your digestive tract C.blinking your eye when a splinter gets into it

Answer 1

"B.passing food through your digestive tract.
The movement of food through the digestive tract is caused not by a reflex but by peristalsis. Peristalsis is the process by which a series of radially symmetrical contractions and relaxations occur anteriorly along the digestive tract, called peristaltic waves."
