[Laryngeal apnea].
The apneic laryngeal chemoreflex (QRL), elicited by water on the vocal cords and the reflex by mechanical stimulation (MRL) has been compared in dog. The response decrease with naloxone at a 400 micrograms.kg-1, suggesting that the reflex inhibition depends on endogenous opioids of the respiratory centre.
