    A)  Salivation

    B)  Eye opening and closing

    C)  Response to pinching pin in a frog leg

    D)  Sweating

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Reflex action is an immediate involuntary response to a stimulus. In reflex action a sensory impulse reaching central nervous system is itself returned to an effector as a motor impulse without neuronal analysis and integration. The common examples are salivation, eye opening and closing, response to pinching pin in a frog leg, coughing, sneezing etc. Sweating (maintenance of body temperature) is regulated by autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system itself has two  sections, ie, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
