What receptors cause a rapid shallow breathing pattern when stimulated by pulmonary disease?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C fibers in the lung parenchyma near the pulmonary capillaries are called juxtacapillary receptors or J receptors. Alveolar inflammatory processes (pneumonia), pulmonary vascular congestion (congestive heart failure), and pulmonary edema stimulate these receptors. This stimulation causes rapid, shallow breathing; a sensation of dyspnea; and expiratory narrowing of the glottis.
