GI tract distension and stasis: GI, particularly duodenal, distension triggers
stretch receptors in the gut wall, stimulating vagal afferent pathways to the CPG.
The significant increase in BHT in the present study is consistent with previous studies.[6-8] In normal breathing after a particular degree of stretching or even before this,
stretch receptors in alveoli are stimulated and send information to the respiratory centers so that exhalation sets in.
Our findings that more patients in whom pencil-point spinal needles are inserted either respond to or acknowledge having experienced sensation at the moment of thecal penetration provides strong clinical evidence that the lumbar meninges are well supplied with sensory
stretch receptors.
(39.) Hunt CC, Kuffler SW:
Stretch receptor discharges during muscle contraction.
In leeches, intersegmental coordination is maintained with severed nerve cords (Yu et al., 1999), because feedback from
stretch receptors in the body wall controls the segmental central pattern generators that produce the undulation rhythm (see Friesen and Cang, 2001).
It stimulates
stretch receptors, followed by an increase in neural traffic to the brain, which results in sympathetic withdrawal and bradycardia and syncope due to hypotension," Dr.
With bulky, high-fiber foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, you get fewer calories per swallow, so there's more time for the
stretch receptors in your stomach to make you feel full.
[3] Information from proprioceptive, visual, vestibular, auditory, tactile, and
stretch receptors in various organs is integrated to create a picture of the position and movements of the body parts relative to each other and to the environment.
Furthermore, slowly adapting receptors (SAR or
stretch receptors) in the airways influence the cough reflex [18, 19].
Surgically exposed nerve endings and muscle
stretch receptors activate local spinal reflexes resulting in muscle spasm.
The
stretch receptors are thus trained to withstand more and more stretching which helps to hold the breath for a long period.
If you consider carotid bodies,
stretch receptors and other physiologic controls that contribute to the control of breathing, it is easy to see why scoring and responding to respiratory events is as much an art as a science.
