The gag reflex is an involuntary reflex, therefore it is an autonomic reflex. The peripheral nervous system is the part of the nervous system outside the central nervous system (which consists of the brain and spinal cord).

The somatic system controls voluntary skeletal muscle movements and the autonomic system controls involuntary or automatic actions.
