MeSH Heading: Pulmonary Stretch Receptors
Tree Number(s): A08.675.650.915.750.780; A08.800.950.750.780; A11.671.650.915.750.780
Unique ID: D011661
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011661
Scope Note: Stretch receptors found in the bronchi and bronchioles. Pulmonary stretch receptors are sensors for a reflex which stops inspiration. In humans, the reflex is protective and is probably not activated during normal respiration.
