Oculocardial reflex

The Oculocardiac reflex (R. Oculocardiacus) is a physiological reflex that occurs when the eyeball is irritated and causes a change in cardiac activity.

This reflex was discovered in 1846 by the Italian physician Giovanni Achille Aschner. He found that when pressure was applied to the eyeball, the patient experienced changes in the heartbeat, such as faster or slower heart rate.

Subsequently, this reflex was studied and described by other scientists, such as Alexander Danyni-Aschner and Heinrich Feneimann. They found that the Oculocardiac reflex is the result of activation of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates the functioning of the heart.

The Oculocardiac reflex is of great importance for medicine and physiology. It is used in the diagnosis of various diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders and others. In addition, the Oculocardiac reflex can be used to assess a patient's condition during surgery or other medical procedures.

However, it should be noted that the reaction to the Oculocardial reflex may vary from person to person, and its intensity depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Therefore, before conducting a diagnosis based on this reflex, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.

The ocular reflex is a reaction to light both in the human cardiovascular system and in his brain. This reflex was described several centuries ago and today it continues to be studied by scientists around the world.

Although the reflex looks like a simple reaction of the eye to
