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.

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).
How many touch receptors does the human body have?
ImproveTheir are 4 types of reflexes:spinal reflex (knee jerk);cranial reflex (reading);somatic reflexes (involve contraction of skeletal muscles);autonomic (visceral) reflexes (involve responses of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands)
Reflexes are not carried to the brain?
A reflex arc does not pass through the brain. The somatic reflex arc and autonomic reflex arc are two types.
What is reflexes 2 plus?

How do reflexes involve in muscular system?
somatic
Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic Reflex
Are effectors which are smooth muscle and glands considered somatic or autonomic reflexes?
somatic
What reflexes are classified as autonomic reflexes?
The ciliospinal reflex and the pupillary light reflex are classified as autonomic reflexes.
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.
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.

How are Mutations Classified?
A mutation can be classified by the somatic cell or the gamete cells.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
Are reflexes classified functionally as autonomic if they activate skeletal muscle?
False
What are two somatic reflexes in which the higher 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).
