Swallowing involves the central nervous system and is a reflex.
A reflex arc includes components of both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Central nervous system. In fact, the brain is the CENTER of the central nervous system.
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)

Center nervous system
interneurons carry out the integrative function of the nervous system.
The central nervous system is like the command center, while the peripheral nervous system is like the communication center between the organs of the body and the CNS and visa versa.
The central nervous system is the control center of the body. It includes the brain and spinal cord.
the brain is the control system of the central nervous system.
An automatic response of the nervous system to the environment is reflex. A prolonged period of deep unconsciousness is a coma.
The gag reflex is an involuntary reflex, therefore it is an autonomic reflex. The peripheral nervous system is the part of the nervous system outside the central nervous system (which consists of the brain and spinal cord). The peripheral nervous system is split into two parts - the somatic nervous system and the autonomic system. The somatic system controls voluntary skeletal muscle movements and the autonomic system controls involuntary or automatic actions.
