title: Afferent activity in pulmonary stretch receptors before and after lung injury.
abstract: This study was undertaken to determine the effect of a lung-injury on the activity of slowly adapting pulmonary stretch receptors. Comparisons of receptor activity were made at inhibition of inspiratory (phrenic nerve) activity. The inspiratory activity of these receptors was found to be decreased after lung-injury.
