Reflex Auropalpebral

The auropalpebral reflex (r. auropalpebralis) is a reflex that occurs when the auricle is irritated. This reflex is one of the types of cochlear reflexes and is associated with the functioning of the auditory system.

When the auricle is irritated, pupil dilation occurs, which indicates that the auropalpebral reflex is associated with the work of the sympathetic nervous system. In addition, this reflex is also associated with the autonomic nervous system, which regulates the functioning of the heart, blood vessels and other organs.

The auropalpebral reflex can be useful for diagnosing various diseases associated with the nervous system. For example, with damage to the auditory nerve or pathology of the sympathetic nerves, the reflex may be impaired. This may indicate the presence of a disease and the need for further examination and treatment.

Thus, the auropalpebral reflex plays an important role in the functioning of the nervous system and can be used to diagnose various pathologies.
