Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?

What is patellar knee-jerk reflex a somatic or autonomic reflex?
yes, the knee relfex felt when tapped just below the knee cap on the patellar tendon is a somatic reflex which is a contraction of skeletal muscles. the opposite would be autonomic relfexes which consist of contractions of smooth or cardiac muscle or secretion by glands.
Why is the patellar reflex called a somatic reflex?
The Patellar reflex is an example of a somatic reflex. This refers to the branch of the nervous system that the reflex pertains to. The somatic branch is part of the Peripheral Nervous system, meaning that it's reflex arc does not pass through the central nervous system (the spinal cord and the brain)
Would salivary reflex be a somatic reflex?
In some circumstances I guess so.
Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?
Skeletal muscles, which are effectors, are involved in somatic reflexes. Somatic reflexes involve voluntary control of skeletal muscles and are part of the somatic nervous system. Autonomic reflexes, on the other hand, involve the control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and are part of the autonomic nervous system.
Is the corneal reflex a somatic reflex or an autonomic reflex?
This particular reflex is autonomic as the affected muscle, constrictor pupillae muscle, is a smooth muscle and not under conscious control. Typically if you can consciously contract the muscle, any reflex associated with that muscle is somatic in nature.
Is an ankle jerk reflex somatic or autonomic?
Ankle jerk is somatic. It is the reflex action, in which the afferent. connecting and the efferent neurons are involved. Autonomic nerves do not supply the striated muscles.
What is corneal reflex somatic?
The corneal reflex is a protective reflex involving the sensory branch of the trigeminal nerve (V) and the motor branch of the facial nerve (VII). When the cornea is touched, nerve impulses trigger a blinking reflex to protect the eye from potential damage.
What is a somatic reflex and how does it occur through the CNS?
A somatic reflex is where the body responds to stimulus. The message from the stimulus is sent through the central nervous system via the spine, and from there it travels to the brain.
Is the babinski reflex somatic?
Yes, the Babinski reflex is a somatic reflex. It is a normal response in infants where the big toe extends and the other toes fan out when the sole of the foot is stroked. In adults, a Babinski reflex is considered abnormal and can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract in the central nervous system.
