Are corneal, pattelar, gag, achiles and plantat reflexes all somatic reflexes and what about pupillary light reflex I'm not sure whether it is visceral or somatic??

Also what is an example of a situation where the plantar reflex test might be useful and why?? If you could give me some idea of resources that I might find useful that would be fantastic!! Having trouble after a 30 yr break from studying!!

Hope you can help me I'm having trouble getting through all the literature.
