Since we give these related effects a common denominator in their functional aspect, the term "trophotropic system" is appropriate. From Wordnik.com. [Walter Hess - Nobel Lecture] Reference
Important, too, is the establishment that there is no evidence in the trophotropic zone of a central organization corresponding to particular organs. From Wordnik.com. [Walter Hess - Nobel Lecture] Reference
Clearly, in the competition between ergotropic and trophotropic systems the former forfeits some of its influence on the organism as a whole in favour of an excess of the latter. From Wordnik.com. [Walter Hess - Nobel Lecture] Reference
We take a step forward, when we turn our attention to the observations from which it emerges that reciprocal mutual connections operate between the sympathetic-ergotropic and the parasympathetic-trophotropic areas, indeed in the sense that at each moment they produce a dynamic equilibrium adapted to the situation at any given moment of the organism as a whole.

As good as normal spell check is, in the face of such odd and specialized vocabulary that you get in medical school (i.e. postganglionic, synaptobrevin, trophotropic, ethanolamine) my pages end up so littered with red that I normally cant find the words that are really misspelled, nor can it help me with most.

Scientists have identified two major metabolic pathways—the ergotropic mode (that’s the work mode) and the trophotropic (that’s the vacation mode). From Wordnik.com. [Jumpstart Your Metabolism] Reference
trophotropic mode, 80. From Wordnik.com. [Jumpstart Your Metabolism] Reference
