Reflex Abdominal Medium

The abdominal medial reflex is a contraction of the abdominal wall during movement, which occurs reflexively in response to stretching of the peritoneum or intestines. This reflex is important for maintaining human health, as it helps to increase muscle tone and the proper functioning of the abdominal organs.

The abdominal medial reflex begins with the impact of irritation on one of the parts of the abdominal press, for example, on the rectus abdominis muscle when squeezing the abdominal muscles or on the iliac bone and muscles when a person moves a leg or tilts the body. Then the abdominal muscles contract along with the relaxation of the thigh muscles or fat groups. This contraction occurs reflexively and signals a decrease in intestinal volume and prevents its contraction in order to avoid excessive absorption of fluid.

The role of the abdominal medial reflex in the formation of internal organs and systems of the body. The reflex ensures the movement of the organs of the digestive tract, genitourinary system, as well as the tone of the abdominal muscles, rectum and bladder. Thus, the abdominal reflex is one of the components of the regulation of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary system.

The following types of reflexes of the abdominal medius muscle are distinguished:

1. a motor reflex that occurs in response to involuntary compression of the abdominal muscles if the area of ​​the central nervous system that is responsible for this part of the body is irritated; 2. automatic reflex - a set of motor functions that do not arise at the will of a person. A person can control this reflex, but not always completely. Automatic reflexes depend on voluntary reflexive reactions that occur in response to certain conditions and environmental signals. The reaction of the reflex of the abdominal medial muscles is accessible to consciousness even without its inclusion, that is, the person who is physiologically capable of correctly and quickly responding to reflex impulses, regardless of the fact of awareness of the action that needs to be performed for this. In fact, both types of reflexes of the muscular peritoneum are the basis for the development of voluntary control of human movements. Therefore, the reflex reaction of the abdominal-middle muscles is of great importance in the development of consciousness and
