| micturition reflex | Contraction of the walls of the bladder and relaxation of the trigone and urethral sphincter in response to a rise in pressure within the bladder; the reflex can be voluntarily inhibited and the inhibition readily abolished to control micturition. Synonym: bladder reflex, urinary reflex, vesical reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| milk-ejection reflex | Release of milk from the breast following tactile stimulation of the nipple; the afferent path is postulated to exist from the nipple to the hypothalamus; the efferent limb is represented by the neurohypophysial release of oxytocin into the systemic circulation; contraction of myoepithelial elements within the breast, caused by oxytocin, moves milk into the collecting ducts and toward the nipple. Synonym: let-down reflex, milk let-down reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: let-down reflex, milk let-down reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clasping reflex | The strong flexion of the forelimbs of amphibia and certain other animals during the mating season when the chest or abdomen is stimulated; it is dependent upon the male sex hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochleo-orbicular reflex | A form of the wink reflex in which there is a contraction, sometimes very slight, of the orbicularis palpebrarum muscle when a sudden noise is made close to the ear; it is absent in labyrinthine disease with total deafness. Synonym: acousticopalpebral reflex, auropalpebral reflex, cochleo-orbicular reflex, startle reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochleopalpebral reflex | A form of the wink reflex in which there is a contraction, sometimes very slight, of the orbicularis palpebrarum muscle when a sudden noise is made close to the ear; it is absent in labyrinthine disease with total deafness. Synonym: acousticopalpebral reflex, auropalpebral reflex, cochleo-orbicular reflex, startle reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochleopupillary reflex | Constriction of the pupil in response to a sudden loud sound. The normal response to such a stimulus is pupil dilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochleostapedial reflex | Contraction of the stapedius muscle in response to a loud sound; this is a protective reflex which with the reflex contraction of the tensor tympani reduces the amplitude of the vibrations of the tympanic membrane and ossicles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coeliac plexus reflex | Arterial hypotension coincident with surgical manipulations in the upper abdomen during general anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mondonesi's reflex | In a case of coma from severe apoplexy, pressure on the eyeballs causes contraction of the facial muscles of expression on the side opposite to the lesion; if coma due to diabetes, uraemia, or other toxic cause the reflex is present on both sides. Synonym: facial reflex, Mondonesi's reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pilomotor reflex | Contraction of the smooth muscle of the skin resulting in "gooseflesh" caused by mild application of a tactile stimulus or by local cooling. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Weingrow's reflex | Plantar flexion of the foot and toes elicited by tapping the sole near its outer edge; has the same significance as the Rossolimo toe flexion reflex Also called Guillain-Barre, Weingrow's, or sole tap reflex. Synonym: Guillain-Barre reflex, sole tap reflex, Weingrow's reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Westphal's pupillary reflex | A constriction of both pupils when an effort is made to close eyelids forcibly held apart. A variant of the pupil response to near vision. Synonym: Galassi's pupillary phenomenon, Gifford's reflex, lid-closure reaction, orbicularis phenomenon, orbicularis pupillary reflex, Piltz sign, Westphal's pupillary reflex, Westphal-Piltz phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Moro reflex | The reflex response of an infant (contraction of the limb and neck muscles) when allowed to drop a short distance through the air or startled by a sudden noise or jolt. Synonym: Moro reflex, parachute reflex, startle reaction. Synonym: cochleopalpebral reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| white pupillary reflex | Reflection from a white mass within the eye giving the appearance of a white pupil. Synonym: leukokoria, white pupillary reflex. Origin: Leuko-white, + G. Kore, pupil (05 Mar 2000) |
