Question

Why are some reflexes involuntary?

Answer 1

If you are talking about reflexes in the body

Explanation: Some functions are involuntarily performed, such as breathing, digestion, heart beating, eye reflexes, etc., but some involuntary actions have voluntary control to a certain extent – examples are breathing, salivation, deglutition (swallowing), defecation, micturition (urination) and others.

Answer 2

A reflex is made possible by neural pathways called reflex arcs which can act on an impulse before that impulse reaches the brain.
