Summary
It was established that there are two baroreceptive afferent systems of the upper respiratory tract in mammals (rabbits and dogs)-trigeminal and olfactory. These systems are more reactive to variations of pressure in the nasal cavity than those in amphibia and birds. The significance of these systems in regulation of respiration is demonstrated by their adaptive effect on the activity of the respiratory center; it is directly dependent on the conditions of the animal habitat.
