Q16 of 44 Page 113

State whether the following actions are a voluntary action, reflex action or conditioned reflex. (AS1)

A. Blinking B. Cleaning the table


C. Playing on the key board D. Salivating when food is put in the mouth.


E. We close our ears when we hear the unbearable sound

Blinking cones under reflex action as the reflex action is a spontaneous automatic mechanical response to a stimulus without the will of the animal. Salivating when food is in the mouth is a reflex action as it's not under our control. Playing on the keyboard, cleaning the table and closing ears on loud sound is conditioned reflex action as conditioned reflex action is acquired reflexes during the lifetime.
