Popis: The оptimum realization to respiratory function depends on varied sensory feedbacks from ensemble of the sources of the body. Pulmonary sensory receptors are the initiating sites for lung reflexes. The information arriving from lungs and airways information is one of the most important feedbacks that provide the adaptation of the respiratory centre for producing of the pattern optimal in terms of work and force of breathing. In article the review of currently existing data about morphology and functional characteristics of sensitive pulmonary structures is presented: slowly adapting stretch receptors, rapidly adapting receptors, C-fiber receptors and neuroepithelial bodies.
