The physiology of reflexes is a key factor missing from this article. It would be greatly appreciated if an expert on the topic could put in necessary information.

In
medicine
, a
reflex
a.k.a. a
reflex action
is an involuntary reaction of the body to a stimulus. It is performed in consequence of an impulse or impression transmitted along
afferent
nerves to a nerve center, from which it is reflected to an
efferent
nerve, and so calls into action certain muscles, organs, or cells.
It's mentioned on
[1]
, but I don't know what is it.

On my doctors progress notes, he states that my reflexes are +2(in regards to my "knee-jerk" reaction), and that my plantar reflexes are down. I am wondering both what the "+2" could mean, and what does it mean if my reflexes are down? How exactly does the rating scale work?
I was looking for what reflex meant in linguistics
- It would be nice if you could elaborate it on
reflex (linguistics)
.

unless you have a mac and can zoom in thats like.... completely unreadable
I recall there being exceptions to the rule that the autonomic nervous system is entirely involuntary.
- You're right. The
enteric nervous system
is the big exception as I recall.

- I thought it was involuntary although we can influence it through cognitive actions (e.g. you can control your respiratory rate) and through psychological conditioning (salivating/production of gastric juices when you see appetising food (enteric nervous system) etc). Our control over the autonomic nervous system should be included in the article i think.
Should this article be merged into
reflexology
or is it different enough to warrant its own article?

- I'd oppose merge, reflexology is more of a massage technique. A reflex action is different.

According to the article
- A reflex action or reflex is a biological control system linking stimulus to response and mediated by a
reflex arc
.
Is it true also for learned reflexes that they are mediated by a reflex arc, or rather only for built-in ones? If the latter is the case, then the sentence in the article should be fixed. --Dan

- Both are technically correct, although 'learnt' is a bit idiosyncratic in American circles, much like spilled/spilt.

Are Hiccups examples of human reflexes and should be included in the list on this page? I'm not an expert but thought there might be a case... --Les
It might be nice to change it to a ruler, so afterwards you can determine your reaction time for this experiment.
Plus the fact that a whole lot of people don't readily have acces to dollar bills?:)

They have so many more reflexes listed for the medical physical exam than we do. It would be really nice to have this page. wikiproject medicine needs your help!

"
Myotatic reflex
" redirects here, but no explanation is given. As far as I can tell, it's just a synonym for "reflex".

Someone recently
rewrote this article's lead section
, adding a description of "voluntary reflex actions" and "involuntary reflex actions." Is the new version of the lead section still accurate?

sorry to have to interrupt this little humans-come-first-fantasy... but human reflexes are of a pityfully limited range, from as i understand it our INCONSISTENT needs in the places our genes have mixed, and then flexibility, for mostly temporary retention, UNLIKE with refined encodings/Gexpression+ .
COMPARED, to amazing stuff in the natural world, like say a grasshopper's jump, or (some of ) a bat's microsentivites... a mating-male beetle's PRE-understanding, of how to wrestle with another, etc.
Surely wonders like SWARM instincts, deserve a listing, if not a LINK.

- Instincts should fall under a separate category. Maybe deserving a link here, but to my knowledge, instincts don't operate via a central nervous system. I am working on incorporating non-human reflexes to round out the topic --
