| Popis: |
The slowly adapting stretch receptors of the trachea are uniquely located in its membraneous posterior wall (Figure l) and, more precisely, within the trachealis muscle and are activated by its transversal traction1. The posterior wall of the trachea is supported by the quasi-rigid U-shaped cartilages and the mechanical coupling between the two structures allows the application of tension to the membranous wall and therefore the activation of the stretch receptors when either a positive or a negative transmural pressure is applied across the air (Figure 2). The slowly adapting stretch receptors localized in the trachea represent about 45% of the total number of so-called pulmonary stretch receptors in the dog2 and 33% in the cat3. |
