autonomic

What is the control center of micturation reflex?
central.somatic and autonomic nervous systems
Is the pupillary light reflex sympathetic?
While pupillary size in principle is controlled both by the sympathetic and the parasympathic nervous system, the typical closure of the pupil after illumination (i.e. the pupillary light reflex) is mediated by the parasympathetic innervation of the constrictor muscle of the pupil.
If the doctor swabs the back of your throat and you gag is this somatic or autonomic reflexes?
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 peripheral nervous system is split into two parts - the somatic nervous system and the autonomic system. The somatic system controls voluntary skeletal muscle movements and the autonomic system controls involuntary or automatic actions.
Is nausea a autonomic reflex?

What is the receptor in pupillary reflex and the effector do both change simultaneously in pupillary reflex?
