Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The activity of receptors of the muscles, skin and subcutaneous blood vessels of the chest wall is characterized by respiratory periodicity consisting in an increased frequency of discharge during inspiration.

  2. 2.

    The inspiratory rhythm of all the receptors investigated is a result of the mechanical stretching taking place during the expansion of the chest.

  3. 3.

    Respiratory volleys of afferent impulses generated by stretching the skin and subcutaneous vessels participate in regulation of respiratory movements and increase the activity of the inspiratory motoneurons.
