Compare the reflex and conduction functions of the spinal cord. What is their significance?

The reflex function provides a quick reaction of the body to any external stimulus. For example, a reaction to a burn or blow. The impulse is quickly transmitted to the brain and a defense reaction will immediately follow. The guiding function works on the same principle as the reflective one. But it takes more time to react to a stimulus or something. We can simply feel the warmth with our hand and do nothing if it is not dangerous for us. Through the conductive reaction, we feel touch, warmth, cold, and more.
