What is another word for autonomic reaction?
Pronunciation: [ɔːtənˈɒmɪk ɹɪˈakʃən] (IPA) 
Autonomic reactions refer to the physiological responses of the body that are beyond control of the conscious mind. Some synonyms for the term "autonomic reaction" include involuntary response, reflex action, automatic reaction, unconscious response, and instinctive reaction. These terms all describe the same concept of a response that occurs without conscious thought, such as sweating or heart rate acceleration during a perceived threat. While autonomic reactions are typically thought of in the context of the fight or flight response, they can also include bodily functions such as digestion or respiration. Regardless of the specific bodily response involved, autonomic reactions are essential for our survival and adaptation to changing environments.
