Somatic reflex
Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic Reflex
Is the regulation of blood pressure a somatic reflex?
No. Its autonomic.
Pupillary light reflex somatic or autonomic?
autonomic
What neural injury will the corneal reflex not test for?
damage to cranial nerve II
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.
Reflexes classified as somatic reflexes include?
A. abdominal reflex B. Achilles jerk D. corneal reflex E. crossed extensor reflex F. gag reflex G. patellar reflex H. plantar reflex
Flexor reflex somatic or autonomic?
it is a somatic reflex
Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?

Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
What reflexes classified as somatic reflexes?
There are 5 somatic reflexes, stretch (spinal), crossed extensor (spinal), superficial cord (spinal), corneal (cranial), and gag (cranial).Involuntary automatic responses to sensory stimulation, for example, the knee-jerk reaction when tapped.Note: Reflexes, such as the contraction / dilation of the pupil, salivation when hungry are all controlled by autonomic reflexes.
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.
Is crossed-extensor reflex a somatic reflex?
yes
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)
Is the pupillary light reflex autonomic and somatic?
Pupillary light reflex is autonomic.
Would salivary reflex be a somatic reflex?
In some circumstances I guess so.
