Abstract:
Vestibulo-cardiovascular reflexes (VCR) is a complex sensory-motor regulatory system, it refers to changes in body posture, adequate stimulus acting at vestibular receptor and regulation of cardiovascular functions including blood pressure, cardiac rhythm via autonomic center. Excessive vestibular stimulation or unilateral labyrinth lesion may cause paradoxical reaction including vertigo, tachycardia, etc. The evidences, significance, neural circuit, and neurotransmitters of VCR are reviewed in this paper.

Somatic Spinal Reflexes
One of the most well-known somatic spinal reflexes is the stretch reflex, which is activated by the sudden stretching of a muscle. This reflex involves the activation of specialized sensory receptors called muscle spindles, which are located in the muscle tissue and detect changes in the length and speed of muscle contractions. When a muscle is suddenly...

Baroreceptor Reflex
Baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses and aortic arch, detect changes in blood pressure. When blood pressure rises, these stretch-sensitive receptors...
The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating urine...
