The withdrawal reflex is both a somatic and autonomic reflex (brain). Withdrawal from a painful stimulus is one test used in brain injury. Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).

∙ 12y agoNo. Somatic means it controls skeletal muscles. The salivary glands have parasynpathetic and sympathetic innervation. Parasympathetic (rest + digest) increases secretion of saliva. Sympathetic (fight + flight) reduces secretion, but doesnt stop it. This is why you get a dry mouth when you're nervous, and salivate when hungry.
