The reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors is known as the Hering-Breuer reflex. It is responsible for inhibiting inspiration to prevent overinflation of the lungs, promoting expiration and maintaining normal breathing patterns.

What organ in the heart where pulmonary circulation is started?
Your right side of the heart pumps blood in the pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary circulation should start from the origin of the pulmonary aorta.
What are pulmonary diseases?
Pulmonary is a term relating to the respiratory system; pulmonary diseases include empyhsema, bronchitis & asthma.
What is the cause of pulmonary stenosis?
Pulmonary stenosis is almost entirely congenital.
Scar tissue that replaces the pulmonary alveolar walls is known as pulmonary?
fibrosis
How do pulmonary agents cause pulmonary edema?
They damage the alveolar-capillary membrane
What are the two parts of the pulmonary ventilation?
Pulmonary Ventilation consists of inspiration/inhaling, and expiration/exhaling
What does lung hyperinflation stimulate?
Lung hyperinflation stimulates pulmonary stretch receptors. A person who experience lung hyperinflation can end up having COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Why does decreased pulmonary blood flow cause cyanosis?
Decreased pulmonary blood flow alone does not cause cyanosis. It is when decreased pulmonary blood flow is associated with right to left shunting (ie Tetralogy of fallot) that it is associated with cyanosis.
Why pulmonary hypertension is associated with adenoid hypertrophy?
narrowing of the pulmonary vessels due to decreased oxygen and increased carbon dioxide
The hypoxia associated with high altitude can cause?
vasoconstriction of the pulmonary blood vessels
Which blood circut is associated with the left side of the heart?
The Pulmonary Blood Circuit
The lungs can be associated with what part of the circulatory system?
Pulmonary circulation through the blood vessels and capillaries.
How many parts to pulmonary ventilation and what are they?
There are two parts. Inhalation and exhalation also known as inspiration and expiration. Inspiration is the process of breathing air into the lungs it helps in oxygenation. Expiration is breathing out and it does not require any specific muscle activity. Expiration occurs due to elastic recoiling of the lungs after inspiration
What is pulmonary infarction?
A Pulmonary Infarction is the death of a small area of lung resulting from pulmonary embolism. It occurs in a small, dead-end pulmonary artery and often causes pain in the back or chest.PI is an an infrequent consequence of Pulmonary Edema(< 10% of cases). It is sometimes due to thrombosis in situ of the pulmonary arteries as might occur in congenital heart disease associated with severe pulmonary hypertension or in hematologic disorders (eg, sickle cell anemia).
What is fibrohazy infiltrates?
A pulmonary infiltrate is a substance denser than air, such as pus, blood, or protein, which lingers within the parenchyma of the lungs. Pulmonary infiltrates are associated with pneumonia, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis.
Which blood circuit is associated with the right side of the heart?
The right side is the pulmonary circuit. (The left side is the systemic circuit.)
What are some of the serious risks associated with hip replacement?
(heart attack, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or death)
