Hyperinflation of the lungs is prevented by 
Select and explain. 
A. Hering Breuer reflex, B. Irritation reflex, C. Cushing reflex, D. Bainbridge reflex
A: Hering Breuer reflex
Answer: A: Hering Breuer reflex 
Explanation: Hering-Breuer inflation reflex: This reflex is mediated by pulmonary stretch receptors in which inflation of lungs above a particular volume results in reflex inhibition of inspiration and union of expiration.
The reflex tends to limit the tidal volume while increasing the respiratory frequency.
Hering-Breuer deflation reflex: - Rapid deflation of lungs tends to initiate prolonged inspiration, i.e., reflex hyperpnea in response to deflation.
