Postural reflexes
Dr. KJG
Professor of Physiology
MGMCRI
Objectives
1 Reflexes to maintain the posture.
2.Types of reflexes
3. Experimental evidences to prove the
mechanisms integrated at different levels
in regulation of posture.
Types of postural reflexes

Golgi tendon
2.Crossed extensor reflex
Flexion of a limb  Extension of the opposite limb
( 0.2-0.5 seconds later)  entire body pushed away
from the stimuli causing pain.
Stimuli – noxious stimuli
CIRCUITRY
Sensory fibers cross to the opposite side of the cord
to activate the reverberatory circuits among the
internuncuial cells  extensor muscles stimulated
Used in walking.
Center - spinal cord
3.Positive supporting reaction
Used to support the body.
Magnet reaction ( locus of pressure determines
the direction of extension)
• Stimuli = Press the pads of (fingers, toes) and
dorsiflex the (hand, foot)
• Afferent = from the skin & muscle.
• Effect = Hand, foot extended to support the
body.
• Limbs become as solid rigid pillars.
• CAT & DOG can stand up to 3 minutes.
4.Negative supporting reaction
Opposite to the positive supporting reaction.
• Stimulus - stretch
• Receptor - Proprioceptor in extensors
• Center - spinal cord
• Response - Release of positive supporting
reaction.(the limb no longer supports the body
weight.)

Decerebrate animal
•Decerebrate rigidity
•Limbs hyperextended
•Tail and head dorsiflexed
•Back concave – extreme hyperextension of
spine (OPISTHOTONOS)
•Carricature of standing
•Can be made to stand on four legs
Decerebrate rigidity
Facilitaory

Inhibitory area
Release phenomenon
• Inhibitory influence on γ – motor neuron activity
from the cerebra cortex and basal ganglia is lost.
• Unopposed facilitatory effect of brain stem areas
& vestibular nucleus on γ and ά motor neuron
activity ↑ muscle tone
• Section of the posterior nerve roots abolishes
rigidity in those muscles.
• Decerebellation ↑ muscle tone in cat.
• Decerebellation ↓ muscle tone in human beings
S.No Sherrington’s Classical
Decerebration
Pollack & Davis Ischaemic
Decerebration
1 Section at mid collicular level Ligation of carotids
2 Fatal procedure Safe procedure
3 Cerebellum intact Damaged
4 De cerebrate rigidity Same features
5 γ-rigidity. ά- rigidity
6 Rigidity increased by removal of
cerebellum
No such effect
7 Rigidity abolished by
deafferentation
No such effect
8 Rigidity abolished by drugs
Like phenothiazine.
No such effect
Thank You

12.postural reflexes kjg

  • 1. Postural reflexes Dr. KJG Professor of Physiology MGMCRI
  • 2. Objectives 1 Reflexes to maintain the posture. 2.Types of reflexes 3. Experimental evidences to prove the mechanisms integrated at different levels in regulation of posture.
  • 3. Types of postural reflexes S.No Types Center 1 Segmental 1. Stretch reflex 2. Crossed extensor 3. Positive support reaction 4. Negative support reaction Spinal cord 2 Tonic 1. Tonic neck 2. Tonic labyrinthine Medulla 3 Righting 1. Neck righting 2. Labyrinthine righting 3. Body righting 4. Limb righting 5. Optical righting Mid brain Cerebral cortex
  • 4. S.No Reflex Stimuli Response Receptor Center 1 Stretch Reflex Stretch Muscle Contraction Muscle Spindle Spinal Cord 2 Crossed extensor reflex Stretch Flexion of limb with extension of opposite limb Proprioceptor 3 Positive supporting Reaction Contact with sole Foot extended to support body Proprioceptor In distal flexor 4 Negative supporting reaction Stretch Release of positive supporting reaction Proprioceptor of extensors 1. Segmental reflexes
  • 7. Spinal cord Dorsal root ganglion INVERSE SRTETCH REFLEX Muscle spindle Sensory nerve Motor nerve α Motor neuron Golgi tendon
  • 8. 2.Crossed extensor reflex Flexion of a limb  Extension of the opposite limb ( 0.2-0.5 seconds later)  entire body pushed away from the stimuli causing pain. Stimuli – noxious stimuli CIRCUITRY Sensory fibers cross to the opposite side of the cord to activate the reverberatory circuits among the internuncuial cells  extensor muscles stimulated Used in walking. Center - spinal cord
  • 9.
  • 10. 3.Positive supporting reaction Used to support the body. Magnet reaction ( locus of pressure determines the direction of extension) • Stimuli = Press the pads of (fingers, toes) and dorsiflex the (hand, foot) • Afferent = from the skin & muscle. • Effect = Hand, foot extended to support the body. • Limbs become as solid rigid pillars. • CAT & DOG can stand up to 3 minutes.
  • 11. 4.Negative supporting reaction Opposite to the positive supporting reaction. • Stimulus - stretch • Receptor - Proprioceptor in extensors • Center - spinal cord • Response - Release of positive supporting reaction.(the limb no longer supports the body weight.)
  • 12. Reflex Stimulus Response Receptor Center Tonic neck reflexes Head turned to side Change in pattern of extensor contraction Neck Proprio ceptor Medulla Up Forelegs extend Hind legs flex Down Forelegs flex Hind legs extend Tonic labyrinthine Reflexes Gravity Change in pattern of rigidity of limbs according to posture Otolith organs 2. Tonic reflexes
  • 14. Reflex Stimuli Response Receptor Center Labyrinthine Righting reflexes Gravity Righting of head Otolith organs Midbrain Neck righting reflexes Stretch of neck muscles Righting of thorax, shoulders & pelvis Muscle spindle Body righting reflexes a. Body on head Pressure on side of body Righting of head Exteroceptors Body righting reflexes b. Body on body Pressure on side of body Righting of body even when head held sideways Exteroceptors 3. Righting reflexes
  • 15. Reaction Stimuli Response Receptor Center Limb Righting a. Placing reactions b. Hopping reactions Lateral displaceme nt while standing Hops or places limbs to support body Muscle spindles Cerebral cortex Optical righting reflex Visual cues Righting of head Retina
  • 16. RIGHTING REFLEXES (Reactions) – Reflexes that restore posture, when such a posture is disturbed
  • 17.
  • 18. Experimental Animal preparations to study the Postural reflexes 1. Spinal animal 2. Decerebrate animal 3. Mid brain animal 4. Thalamic animal 5. Decorticate animal
  • 19. Experimental animals Animal Level of section 1.Segmental reflex 2.Tonic Neck & Labyrinthine 3.Righting Labyrinthine, Neck, Body Limb & optical Spinal Below medulla ++ -- -- -- -- 1000 De cerebrate Mid collicular ++ ++ -- -- -- (Severe Rigidity) 1100 Mid brain Above Mid brain ++ ++ ++ -- -- 1110 De corticate Removal of cortex ++ ++ ++ -- -- (CR lost) 1110 Thalamic Thalamus intact ++ ++ ++ Limb ++ Optical -- 1111
  • 20. Decerebrate animal •Decerebrate rigidity •Limbs hyperextended •Tail and head dorsiflexed •Back concave – extreme hyperextension of spine (OPISTHOTONOS) •Carricature of standing •Can be made to stand on four legs
  • 23. Release phenomenon • Inhibitory influence on γ – motor neuron activity from the cerebra cortex and basal ganglia is lost. • Unopposed facilitatory effect of brain stem areas & vestibular nucleus on γ and ά motor neuron activity ↑ muscle tone • Section of the posterior nerve roots abolishes rigidity in those muscles. • Decerebellation ↑ muscle tone in cat. • Decerebellation ↓ muscle tone in human beings
  • 24. S.No Sherrington’s Classical Decerebration Pollack & Davis Ischaemic Decerebration 1 Section at mid collicular level Ligation of carotids 2 Fatal procedure Safe procedure 3 Cerebellum intact Damaged 4 De cerebrate rigidity Same features 5 γ-rigidity. ά- rigidity 6 Rigidity increased by removal of cerebellum No such effect 7 Rigidity abolished by deafferentation No such effect 8 Rigidity abolished by drugs Like phenothiazine. No such effect
