(i) Simple reflex: This type of reflex is an inborn, automatic response to a specific stimulus that does not require prior learning or experience. Examples include the knee-jerk reaction, where tapping the patellar tendon leads to an involuntary kicking movement, and the withdrawal reflex, where touching a hot surface results in an immediate withdrawal of the hand

(ii) Complex reflex: These involve multiple synapses with one or more interneurons between the sensory and motor neurons. They are slightly slower than simple reflexes due to the additional synapses. Example: When touching something hot, sensory neurons send signals to interneurons in the spinal cord, which then activate motor neurons to withdraw the hand or limb.
