reflex is made possible by neural pathways called reflex arcs which can act on an impulse before that impulse reaches the brain.

Reflex action is the response to a stimulus. The spinal cord along with the brain stem is responsible for the reflex movement.
For example : when you touch a hot object you immediately remove your hand from it
