Reflex reactions are immediate, unconscious responses to a stimulus that provides us with protection and aids survival. When your safety demands a quick response, the signals may bypass the brain and be acted upon as soon as they reach the spinal cord. These shorter pathways are called reflex arcs. Reflex arcs are in-built, or innate, behaviours. And we all behave in the same way. Even though the brain is bypassed for the immediate response, the nerve message is still passed onto the brain so that you can think about whether any further action is needed. So the pathway has been cut down by speeding up the central nervous system aspect - the message reaches the spinal cord and heads straight back out down motor neurons to produce a response.
