Significance of Sensory Receptors, Afferent and Efferent Pathways in Respiration
Significance of the Sensory Receptors and Afferent Pathways Slowly adapting stretch receptors control respiration via the respiratory centre. The other receptors that are important are Unmyelinated sensory C fibres Rapidly adapting irritant receptors that are associated with myelinated vagal fibres. Physical and chemical stimuli acting on irritant receptors on myelinated fibres in the upper airways […]
