A patient with parotid gland cancer has damage to the glossopharyngeal nerve. As a result, which of the following respiratory reflexes will be impaired?
The afferent pathway from the carotid body chemoreceptors is Hering's nerve, a branch of cranial nerve IX, the glossopharyngeal nerve. The vagus nerve constitutes the afferent pathway from the aoic chemoreceptors, the J receptors, the irritant airway receptors, and the rapidly adapting stretch receptors mediating the Hering-Breuer inflation reflex.
Hering-Breuer inflation reflex
Juxta pulmonary capillary ( J) receptor reflex
Irritant airway reflex
Carotid body chemoreceptor reflex
