SUMMARY

1. Gastro-colic reflex: increase in colonic activity after ingestion of food. Cholinergically mediated reflex.

2. Colo-colonic reflex: causes muscles above the dilatation to contsrict and muscles below to relax, propelling food forward. Generated by the myenteric plexus.

3. Recto-colic reflex: colonic peristalsis in response to chemical/mechanical stimulation of the rectum/anal canal. Mediated by the pelvic nerve.

4. Ano-rectal reflex: involuntary relaxation of the internal anal sphincter as stool passes into the rectum.
