Despite extensive (and valiant) attempts to research it, much remains a mystery about the hippo's gooey antibiotic sunscreen. Saikawa's team hypothesizes that the animal synthesizes it from amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in the presence of oxygen.
1 Gastroileal reflex is one of the ways in which gastric motility influences intestinal motility. 2  When there is vigorous gastric peristalsis of increased secretion, it stimulates peristalsis in the ileum.
A reflex is a quick involuntary action. There are five steps to a reflex: the stimulus occurs, the sensory neurons sense the stimulus, it sends a message to your spinal cord (â¦ it doesn't reach the brain right then), the spinal cord sends a message to your motor neurons, and the reflex occurs.se of the straw is not response to stimulus, and therefore not a reflex. Reflexes follow a Reflex ARC. The Arc is through the spinal cord. While the information gets sent to the brain (you know you touched something hot, or you are choking and coughing), the reflex totally by-passes the brain.
