The mechanoreceptor reflex is composed of the inflation reflex and the deflation reflex. The inflation reflex limits the duration of inspiration in response to stretching the walls of the lungs. The deflation reflex stimulates inspiration when the lungs are collapsed. Mechanoreceptor reflexes are insignificant during quiet respiration but they are very important during forced respiration. The mechanoreceptor reflex makes sure your brain knows when to stop breathing and start breathing, basically.

Are thermoreceptors a type of mechanoreceptors?
No it is not type of mechanoreceptor, the only type of mechanoreceptor is cutaneous mechanoreceptor...(i think so)But there are types of mechanoreceptor according to morphology... ruffinis end organ, meissner's corpuscle, pacinian corpuscle, merkel's disc, mechanorecepting free nerve endings and hair follicle receptor... that' all
What are two example of reflex actions and their importance?
The Pupillary Light Reflex and the Corneal Reflex (or Blink Reflex) are two important reflexes because the Light Reflex prevents damage to eye compopents related to over exposure to light and also helps the eye to accommodate visually, when there is less light; The Blink Reflex prevents objects from entering the eye and lubricates the eye. Also, breathing and heart beat are thought to be reflex actions.
