| pharyngeal reflex | The act of swallowing (second stage) induced by stimulation of the palate, fauces, or posterior pharyngeal wall. Synonym: deglutition reflex, pharyngeal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Rossolimo's reflex | Flicking the tops of the toes from the plantar surface causes flexion of the toes; a stretch reflex of the flexors of the toes seen in lesions of the pyramidal tracts. See: Starling's reflex. Synonym: plantar muscle reflex, Rossolimo's sign. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phasic reflex | A coordinated complex response such as the scratch reflex in the spinal animal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Phillipson's reflex | A contraction of the extensors of the knee when the extensors of the opposite knee are inhibited. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ciliospinal reflex | Dilation of the pupil following scratching of the skin of the neck. Synonym: ciliospinal reflex, cutaneous pupil reflex, cutaneous-pupillary reflex, skin-pupillary reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| milk let-down 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) |
| 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) |
