===Other kinds of reflexes=== Other reflexes found in the central nervous system include: * [[Abdominal reflex]]es (T6-L1) * [[Gastrocolic reflex]] * [[Anal wink|Anocutaneous reflex]] (S2-S4) * [[Baroreflex]] * [[Cough reflex]] * [[Cremasteric reflex]] (L1-L2) * [[Diving reflex]] * [[Lazarus sign]] * [[Muscular defense]] * [[Photic sneeze reflex]] * [[Scratch reflex]] * [[Sneeze]] * [[Startle response]] * [[Withdrawal reflex]] ** [[Crossed extensor reflex]] Many of these reflexes are quite complex, requiring a number of synapses in a number of different nuclei in the central nervous system (e.g., the [[escape reflex]]). Others of these involve just a couple of synapses to function (e.g., the [[withdrawal reflex]]). Processes such as [[breathing]], [[digestion]], and the maintenance of the [[Heart rate|heartbeat]] can also be regarded as reflex actions, according to some definitions of the term.
