Reflexogenic Zone

**Reflexogenic field** can be defined as the zone in tissues and organs in which signals occur that lead to the occurrence of reflexes. In the human body there are not only afferent, but also efferent VERS. Which form the conditioned reflex field (CRF), as a more complex structure than the RZ, covering the afferent and efferent parts of these fields. In addition, when studying the sensory afferent, the conditioned reflex pathway passes from the receptor along the processes of bipolar neurons to all parts of the central nervous system, which are its final destination. This property of RD is one of its fundamental features, which determines the influence of afferent signals on subsequent mechanisms of the central nervous system. This sign, as well as the availability of diagnosis and treatment using reflexology, determine the practical significance of studying reflex zones.

There are about 500 of them in the human body, and depending on the function, a person uses only a third of the entire zone, and each human muscle is both an innervation zone and a reflexogenic zone. If the human or animal body is represented as a 3-dimensional volume, and afferents and efferents are depicted as straight springs, you can see a picture of fan-shaped excitation that covers most of the body, starting from the forehead and ending with the tips of the toes. And at the intersection of these straight lines there is a reflexogenic zone.

Knowledge of the principles of formation of reflex innervation in various parts of the body allows us to determine lesions and places of influence of pain factors. For example, in an integrated approach to diagnosing pain, the degree of pain reflex is determined after preliminary determination of all positions of the torso and limbs using a “reflexmeter” device in order to determine the localization of the stimulus that causes the pathological total sensory charge.
