| rectocardiac reflex | A parasympathetic reflex producing bradycardia and hypotension upon stimulation of the pelvic nerve, the afferent limb being the sacral outflow of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, and the efferent limb, the cardiac vagus; said to accompany proctologic examinations.

| rectolaryngeal reflex | Laryngeal spasm precipitated by stretching the anal sphincter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| masseter reflex | A spasmodic contraction of the temporal muscles following a downward tap on the loosely hanging mandible. Synonym: chin jerk, chin reflex, jaw jerk, mandibular reflex, masseter reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesical 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) |
| mass reflex | In cases of gross injury to the spinal cord, as the stage of reflex activity follows the primary flaccidity of the shock, a condition arises in which a strong stimulus to any part of one of the paralysed limbs will be followed by contraction of the hip, knee, and ankle of the same side and often, when the stimulus is applied to the middle line of the body, of both sides, as well as of the abdominal wall, and even evacuation of the bladder and sweating over an area corresponding to the level of the lesion.
