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 the second line of defence against pathogens?
The first and second lines of defense are both components of innate immunity, that is defenses that are present at birth. The job of the first line of defense is to keep microbes out of the body. They include the skin, mucous membranes and their secretions and the normal flora. The second line of defense is activated once the microbe gets into the body. The second line of defense includes white blood cells (which "eat" invading microbes), inflammation (which is used to isolate the microbes and facilitate tissue repair), fever (which inhibits replication of microbes and enhances WBC performance), and antimicrobial substances.
