Some are easy, like gagging and vomiting when something is tickling your throat (hopefully the flow of vomit will dislodge the offending object), but the abdominal reflexes never made sense except for entertainment value, as did the tickling reflex and the anal wink reflex. I have also wondered about the cremasteric and the testis compression reflex. Why do these exist? Yes they give your partner entertainment but what purpose do they serve? <br /><br />Ed RN, BSNAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204274307559047085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895935989949155387.post-33047136270082306592013-06-21T05:30:54.748+01:002013-06-21T05:30:54.748+01:00Nice blog!

But I'm compelled to point out that Terminologia Anatomica lists dorsal and ventral on an equal footing with posterior and anterior for the structures in the spinal cord that take these adjectives. This makes sense in the spine, since these axes more or less coincide there. As you move into the cranium, however, dorsal-ventral becomes very distinct from anterior-posterior because dorsal-ventral is relative to the tortuous neuraxis while anterior-posterior is always relative to anatomic position. If you maintain that they're equivalent orientation terms but differ only in that one pair is for humans and the other for other animals, what name would you propose for what is presently known as the anteroventral nucleus of thalamus?<br /><br />-An atomistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895935989949155387.post-4811792476475774812013-06-01T11:19:21.389+01:002013-06-01T11:19:21.389+01:00Alcohol makes a man chronically disabled and sensi...Alcohol makes a man chronically disabled and sensitivity is less.

What is a reflex? It is a nerve circuit simply responding to outside stimuli by caused a muscle contraction. The most common type of reflex testing in adults is done by hitting the knee with a small rubber hammer. The resulting jerk confirms the health of the lower spinal cord. By testing reflexes in such a matter, doctors can confirm that the spinal cord has not sustained any injuries without turning to more intrusive exams. nahidworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947389111301055524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895935989949155387.post-40504288377682748032013-01-24T15:26:19.132+00:002013-01-24T15:26:19.132+00:00The movements we use are based on reflex patterns ...The movements we use are based on reflex patterns and rhythmic movements that babies make naturally from the womb on.Some movements involve light touch, and for younger children, many of the movements can be done <a href="http://reflexes.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">read more</a> playfully.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784061750663897301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895935989949155387.post-75446491561808785532013-01-13T17:16:03.427+00:002013-01-13T17:16:03.427+00:00Involuntary reactions to stimulus resulting with i...Involuntary reactions to stimulus resulting with instantaneous movement are called <a href="http://reflexes.co.uk" rel="nofollow"> reflexes</a>. <a href="http://reflexes.co.uk" rel="nofollow"> Reflexes</a> are apparent from birth including blinking and sneezing.
