a somatic reflex, nerve signals travel along the following pathway:
# Somatic receptors in the skin, muscles and tendons
# Afferent nerve fibers carry signals from the somatic receptors to the posterior horn of the spinal cord or to the brainstem
# An integrating center, the point at which the neurons that compose the gray matter of the spinal cord or brainstem synapse
# Efferent nerve fibers carry motor nerve signals from the anterior horn
