Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanoreceptor reflexes involve the stimulation of stretch receptors and irritant receptors in the lungs which in turn adjusts the rate and depth of respiration. Chemoreceptor reflexes sense chemical changes within the body and adjust respiration accordingly. Protective reflexes such as coughing, sneezing and swallowing can also affect respiration. Temperature reception and response reflexes and cerebrospinal fluid circulation pressure adjustment reflexes do not directly regulate respiration.
