Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The five steps involved in a neural reflex.
Introduction:
The instantaneous and involuntary movement is known as reflex action or reflex. The responses of the actions taken to a sensory stimulus. The motor responses take place through the receptors present in reflex arc. Reflex action is the action involved in response to the sensation and stimuli and it is a type of instant and involuntary responses.

Use logic to determine whether each of the following reflexes is a somatic reflex or an autonomic (visceral) reflex. Hint: think about what the effector is — is it a skeletal muscle, or is it a smooth / cardiac muscle or gland?
-Patellar (knee-jerk) reflex
-Pupillary light reflex (autonomic/somatic)
-Effectors are skeletal muscles (autonomic/somatic)
-Effectors are smooth muscles or glands (autonomic/somatic)
-Regulation of blood pressure (autonomic/somatic)
-Salivary reflex (autonomic/somatic)
What is the physiological function of chemical and electrical synapses between reflexes (eg. a Knee Reflex and jerk reflex).
