What is the name given to reflexes that involve more than 2 neurons?
polysnaptic reflex
Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).

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.
Example of reflex action?
reacting when someone flashes his or her hand to your face that includes blinking-------------------------------------------------------A reflex action is a sudden reaction to a stimuli (a change in the environment) & often acts to protect you.Some are controlled by the brain (cranial reflexes) such as when you blink as dust lands in your eye, or your pupil gets smaller as light is shone in your eye.Some reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord (spinal reflexes) such as when you touch a hot object or stand on a pin.Some reflexes can have learnt responses so they are calledconditioned reflexes. These reflexes occur without you even thinking about them e.g. walking & producing saliva when you smell food.
