01
Overview
Sensory receptors in the respiratory tract are specialized nerve endings that detect mechanical and chemical stimuli within the airways and lungs. These receptors play crucial roles in regulating breathing patterns, defending against inhaled irritants, and maintaining homeostasis. The main types include Slowly Adapting Stretch Receptors (SARs), Rapidly Adapting Receptors (RARs), and C-fiber Endings. These receptors are involved in reflexes such as coughing, bronchoconstriction, and mucus secretion. In diseases like asthma and chronic cough, sensory nerve plasticity can lead to heightened sensitivity and exaggerated symptoms.
