Well you can asses the function of ilioingunial nerve and genitofemoral nerve.
Cremasteric relfex can be demonstarted by lightly touching the skin of the upper medial thigh, resulting in a slight elevation of the testis.
The sensory fibers of the reflex are carried by the L1 fibers of the Ilioinguinal nerve and the motor response is a functional of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve that innervates the cremastric muscle.

What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
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.
What reflex regulates the activity of smooth muscle?
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.
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is at the end of a reflex arc as it is the muscle or gland that 'does' the reflex. What the effector does is the outcome of the reflex arc.
What is an example of a stretch reflex triggered by passive muscle movement?
knee jerk reflex
Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic Reflex
What is the difference between a reflex and a voluntary muscle?
The difference between a reflex and a voluntary muscle is simply that a reflex is autonomic response to a stimulus thus making it involuntary. This in direct contradiction to a voluntary muscle movement with is done by making the conscious decision to do so.
In this reflex action the muscle acts as the ....?
Effector
How many synapses are crossed in a single reflex arc during a muscle stretch reflex?
one
What reflex causes muscles relaxation and lengthening in response to muscle tension?
The reflex of the Golgi tendon.
Is the Patellar reflex inhibited or enhanced by voluntary muscle activity in the quadriceps?
The patellar reflex is inhibited
