PATHOLOGY

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: -Spinal reflexes are rapid, involuntary, and predictable responses to specific stimuli that are mediated by the spinal cord without requiring input from the brain. They occur as automatic, involuntary responses to stimuli generated within the nervous system.
