Importance of receptor stimulation for activity of narial muscles in rabbits

Summary

  1. 1.

    The respiratory rhythm of motoneurons of the narial muscles in rabbits persists during paralysis of the skeletal muscles, when stimulation of the receptors in the rhythm of respiration is abolished. “Respiratory” contractions of the narial muscles are coordinated by a central mechanism which is triggered by excitation of the respiratory center.

  2. 2.

    Olfactory stimuli evoke periodic contractions of the narial muscles during apnea, i.e., independently of the function of the respiratory center. These contractions are evidently a component of orienting activity, and facilitate active reception of the stimuli.

  3. 3.

    Periodic and tonic contractions of the narial muscles are constantly regulated by afferent impulses from the lung mechanoreceptors.

  4. 4.

    Stretching of MLAN is accompanied by only weak and inconstant responses. Impulses of the proprioceptors of MLAN are of no essential significance in regulation of the contractions of this muscle or of respiration.
