What are two types of receptors involved in the cough reflex?
Two types of receptors involved in the cough reflex include irritant receptors, which are sensitive to noxious stimuli in the airways, and stretch receptors, which respond to mechanical distortion of the airways. Activation of these receptors triggers the cough reflex to protect the respiratory tract.

What responds to over inflation of the lungs?
Stretch receptors in the pleura
What triggers the micturition reflex in the walls of the bladder?
stretch receptors
How would you classify the receptors for a full bladder?

What is another name for muscle spindles?
Proprioceptors, stretch-reflex receptors.
A stretch receptor is classified as a a chemoreceptor b mechanoreceptor c photoreceptor d thermoreceptor e all of these?
