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.

Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.

Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?

Skeletal muscles, which are effectors, are involved in somatic reflexes. Somatic reflexes involve voluntary control of skeletal muscles and are part of the somatic nervous system. Autonomic reflexes, on the other hand, involve the control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and are part of the autonomic nervous system.


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


Are smooth muscle reflexes somatic?

No, they are visceral and from the efferent or motor neurons.


What are the qualities that unite somatic reflexes?

Somatic reflexes are involuntary responses to stimuli that involve skeletal muscles. They are quick, stereotypical, and require the involvement of the spinal cord or brainstem. These reflexes help maintain posture, protect the body, and allow for quick responses to potential danger.


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.


Is the regulation of blood pressure a somatic reflex?

No, the regulation of blood pressure is not considered a somatic reflex. It is primarily controlled by autonomic reflexes involving the cardiovascular system, which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and hormones. Somatic reflexes typically involve skeletal muscles and are responsible for voluntary movements.
