Detailed explanation-1: -A somatic reflex is an involuntary movement in response to a stimulus. To produce the action, the somatic reflex arc is activated when a signal from the stimulus is sent to the muscle cells, passing through afferent neurons to the CNS, and finally, to the efferent neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Somato-somatic reflex-occurs when somatic stimuli produce patterns of reflex activity in segmentally related somatic structures. For example, neurons in the spinal cord may receive abnormal levels of afferent activity from muscle spindles as a result of injury.
Detailed explanation-3: -A reflex arc defines the pathway by which a reflex travels-from the stimulus to sensory neuron to motor neuron to reflex muscle movement.
