TLDR
Results show that both phasic and tonic vagal discharges determine Ti and Te, and the larger the end-expiratory lung volume the steeper the VT-Ti relationship.

Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of the anatomy and physiology of slowly adapting pulmonary stretch receptors.

TL;DR: Both anatomical and physiological studies support the contention that SARs, by their close association with airway smooth muscle, continuously sense the tension within the myoelastic components of the airways caused by lung inflation, smooth muscle contraction and/or tethering of small intrapulmonary airways to the lung parenchyma.

Repiratory effects of cold air breathing in anesthetized cats

TL;DR: The present data strongly suggest that the bronchomotor response to cold air breathing is a reflex, mediated by afferent fibres in the superior laryngeal nerves and in the vagus nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of pulmonary stretch receptors during breathing in rabbits, cats and dogs.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that transpulmonary pressure-controlled stimulation of the afferent vagus nerves is a satisfactory method of mimicking and controlling the pulmonary stretch receptor feedback mechanism in studies on the control of breathing.

Breathing Responses to Imposed Mechanical Loads

TL;DR: The sections in this article are: Classification of Loads, Classification of Responses, Implications of Consciousness, Tolerance to Pressure Biasing and to Mechanical Loads.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal activation of brain vagal-regulatory pathways and upper gut enteric plexuses by insulin hypoglycemia.

TL;DR: It is revealed that brain-gut neurons regulating vagal outflow to the stomach/duodenum are sensitively responsive to insulin hypoglycemia.

On the regulation of depth and rate of breathing

TL;DR: The relationships between the depth of a breath and the durations of the inspiratory and expiratory phases have been studied in cat and in man during rebreathing, and in cat using artificial inflations of different magnitudes and timings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Afferent impulses in the vagus and their effect on respiration.

TL;DR: The results confirm Keller and Loeser in demonstrating such endings, though the deflation needed to excite them can seldom occur in a normal animal, and also confirm the existence of sensory endings responding to deflation of the lungs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical characteristics of the chest and lungs and the work of breathing in different mammalian species.

TL;DR: The mechanical properties of the lungs in a number of different species of experimental mammals are assessed to see if the values are consistent with the interspecific differences in breathing pattern, and the results are values for commonly used experimental animals which may be worth recording.
