This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: Regulation of Respiration, Subject name: Physiology
Hyperinflation of 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: Ans. is 'a' i.e., Hering Breuer reflexo Hering-Breuer inflation reflex : This reflex is mediated by pulmonary stretch receptors in w hich inflation of lungs above a particular volume results in reflex inhibition of inspiration and initiation of expiration. The reflex tends to limit the tidal volume while increasing the respiratory frequency.o Hering-Breuer deflation reflex : - Rapid deflation of lungs tends to initiate prolonged inspiration, i.e., reflex hyperpnea in response to deflation.NameLocationStimulationAfferentResponseBaroreceptorsArterialCarotid sinus-9th nerve Aortic arch-1 Oth nerve|BPAff.-9th 10th NTS Eff.-Buffer n.|Sympathetic vasoconstrictor tone |Sympathetic discharge to heart |Parasympathetic discharge to heartCentral venous pressure receptorLt. atrium Pulmonary veins wall of great veins (SVC/Jugular veins) 10th nerve ChemoreceptorsCentralMedullaCO; HyperventilationPeripheralCarotid & Aortic bodyHemorrhage Hypoxia Hypercapnia acidosisStimulates VMCPeripheral Vasoconstriction |CO,|THR,|BPBainbridge ReflexesRt. atrium/vena cavaeRapid infusion of blood'saline (atrial distension) reflex tachycardiaBezold-Jariseh/ Coronary ChemoreflexLt.
