Somatic reflexes involve skeletal muscles. A somatic reflex is a reflex that involves a response from a site of stimulation to another site in the body, usually a reflex arc. The reflex arc includes a sensory receptor, an afferent neuron, an integrating center in the spinal cord or brainstem, an efferent neuron, and a target effector organ or tissue (usually a skeletal muscle).
