Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reflexes below the neck, such as pulling a hand away from a hot stove, are controlled by the spinal cord, which is responsible for automatic and rapid responses to sensory input without involving the conscious brain. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are involved in regulating various bodily functions, but not specifically reflexes.
