| Sherrington phenomenon | After the muscles of the leg have been deprived of their motor innervation by sectioning the ventral roots containing fibres for the sciatic nerve, and allowing time for the degeneration of the fibres to occur, stimulation of the sciatic nerve causes slow contraction of the muscles.

| Sherrington's law | Every dorsal spinal nerve root supplies a particular area of the skin, the dermatome, which is, however, invaded above and below by fibres from the adjacent spinal segments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sherrington, Sir Charles | <person> English physiologist and Nobel laureate, 1857-1952. See: Sherrington phenomenon, Sherrington's law, Schiff-Sherrington phenomenon, Liddell-Sherrington reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schiff-Sherrington phenomenon | When the spinal cord is transected in the midthoracic region or a little lower, the stretch and other postural reflexes of the upper extremity become exaggerated; if the transection is made in the sacral cord, a similar effect is observed in the lower limbs. The effect is regarded as a release phenomenon, i.e., release from an inhibitory influence normally exerted by the spinal segments below the transection. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Liddell-Sherrington reflex | Tonic contraction of the muscles in response to a stretching force, due to stimulation of muscle proprioceptors. Synonym: Liddell-Sherrington reflex, muscular reflex, stretch reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Sherrington's l. |
1. every posterior spinal nerve root supplies a special region of the skin, although fibers from adjacent spinal segments may invade such a region. 2. when a muscle receives a nerve impulse to contract, its antagonist receives simultaneously an impulse to relax; see reciprocal innervation, under innervation.
