A) The effector pathway in the somatic reflex arc is myelinated.
B) The effector pathway in the visceral reflex arc involves more neurons.
C) The effector pathway in the visceral reflex arc involves more chemical synapses.

E) The effector organs in the somatic reflex are closer to the spinal cord.

The distance of effector organs from the spinal cord does not significantly affect the speed of reflexes. The speed difference between somatic and visceral reflexes is primarily due to factors like myelination, the number of neurons involved, and the number of chemical synapses, rather than the physical distance of the effector organs from the spinal cord.
