The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. The SoNS consists of efferent nerves responsible for stimulating muscle contraction, including all the non-sensory neurons connected with skeletal muscles and skin.

What serves as the effector for micturition reflex arc?
An efferent somatic (pudendal nerve) output to the external sphincter which relaxes the external sphincter and causes the urine to flow through the urethra is the effector part of the reflex arc.
Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic Reflex
How hormones function in a reflex arc?
Hormones have nothing to do in reflex arc.
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.
What kind of reflex arc does not require an inter neuron?
A monosynaptic reflex arc does not require an interneuron. In this type of reflex arc, the sensory neuron communicates directly with the motor neuron in the spinal cord or brainstem, resulting in a quick and simple reflex response.
Why is the patellar reflex called a somatic reflex?
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)
Flexor reflex somatic or autonomic?
it is a somatic reflex
What serves as the effector for micturition reflex arc?
An efferent somatic (pudendal nerve) output to the external sphincter which relaxes the external sphincter and causes the urine to flow through the urethra is the effector part of the reflex arc.
Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic 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.
Is crossed-extensor reflex a somatic reflex?
yes
What is patellar knee-jerk reflex a somatic or autonomic reflex?
yes, the knee relfex felt when tapped just below the knee cap on the patellar tendon is a somatic reflex which is a contraction of skeletal muscles. the opposite would be autonomic relfexes which consist of contractions of smooth or cardiac muscle or secretion by glands.
How do visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic?
An autonomic reflex arc is similar to the somatic kind, but differs principally in the motor output side. The sensory side is similar in that a transducer sends a signal via a nerve fiber into the CNS. As with the somatic arc, this sensory fiber is associated with a pseudo-unipolar neuron in a craniospinal ganglion, usually one of the dorsal root ganglia. In the autonomic arc, the sensory transducer is often located in or associated with visceral organs.
How hormones function in a reflex arc?
Hormones have nothing to do in reflex arc.
What is the pathway of reflex?
reflex arc
Would salivary reflex be a somatic reflex?
In some circumstances I guess so.
Reflexes are not carried to the brain?
Reflexes are actually carried to the brain through sensory neurons that send signals to the spinal cord. The spinal cord processes the incoming sensory information and coordinates a quick response, sometimes without direct involvement of the brain. This allows for rapid reflex actions to occur without the need for conscious thought.
