Physiology of the neuromotor circuit of the respiratory system

Abstract

This article is devoted to the neurophysiology of individual links of the neuromotor circuit of the respiratory system, which includes the respiratory muscles with the receptor apparatus, afferent pathways, spinal and suprasegmental centers of the respiratory muscles, as well as their efferent pathways. There are two types of mechanoreceptors in respiratory muscles: muscle and tendon spindles [2]. The main quantities measured by muscle receptors (spindles and tendon organs) are changes in length and tension that occur when a muscle is stretched and contracted.
