The effector or action is sometimes evident by the reflex name, i.e., flexor reflex. Knee-jerk reflex is somatic, spinal, innate, and monosynaptic.
1.  by the efferent division of the nervous system that controls the response: somatic reflexes and autonomic reflexes
2.  by the CNS location where the reflex is integrated: spinal reflexes and cranial reflexes
3.  by whether the reflex is innate or learned: innate reflexes and learned or conditioned reflexes
4.  by the number of neurons in the reflex pathway: monosynaptic reflexes and polysynaptic reflexes
