Superficial reflex is the rapid contraction reaction of muscles caused by stimulation of skin and mucosa, including corneal reflex, pharyngeal reflex, abdominal wall reflex, testis lifting reflex, plantar reflex, anal reflex, etc.
Tendon reflex, also known as deep reflex, actually refers to involuntary muscle contraction that occurs when the tendon is pulled rapidly. It is actually a kind of muscle stretch reflex. The diameter of the afferent fibers of tendon reflex was thicker and the conduction velocity was faster. Tendon reflex is a single synaptic reflex with a short latency.
