How far can a lung stretch?
For an adult male, the most a lung can hold is about 6 liters of air. There is a reflex in the body that will prevent overstretching of the lungs. This is called the Hering–Breuer inflation reflex which is triggered by receptors on the surface of the lung and carried via the Vagus nerve.

How can you start breast feeding with flat nipple when your baby is not latching on?
Make sure you are comfortable and that the baby is well positioned. If he is newborn, using conveniently placed pillows may help. Dip a facecloth into cold water and rub the nipple on the breast that you are going to offer first, until the nipple stands up.Then, hold the nipple between your fingers and make it into a biscuit shape. Now you need to stimulate the baby's rooting reflex by stroking his cheek gently with the nipple. He will turn towards the nipple and try to latch on.Don't touch his other cheek with your finger, because he will become confused and turn his head from left to right in a frantic attempt to find the nipple and the mother may think he is refusing the breast, when actually the very opposite is happening. He must have the rooting reflex stimulated on ONLY one cheek at a time.Don't try to put the nipple straight in his mouth, because he won't take it that way. Nature has put the rooting reflex in the cheek.
Infant reflexes?
DefinitionA reflex is an involuntary muscle reaction to a certain type of stimulation. Certain sensations or movements are known to produce specific muscular responses.Alternative NamesPrimitive reflexes; Reflexes in infants; Tonic neck reflex; Galant reflex; Truncal incurvation; Rooting reflex; Parachute reflex; Grasp reflexConsiderationsThe presence and strength of a reflex is an important sign of neurological development and function.Many infant reflexes disappear as the child grows older, although some remain throughout adulthood. The presence of an infant reflex after the age at which the reflex normally disappears can be a sign of brain damage or damage to the nervous system.Infant reflexes are reflexes that are normal in infants, but abnormal in other age groups. Such reflexes include:Moro reflexSucking reflex (sucks when area around mouth stimulated)Startle reflex (pulling arms and legs inward after loud noise)Step reflex (stepping motions when sole of foot touches hard surface)Other infant reflexes include:The TONIC NECK REFLEX is elicited when the head of a relaxed child, lying on his back, is rotated to the side. The arm toward which the infant is facing extends straight away from the body with the hand partially open, while the arm on the side away from the face is flexed and the fist is clenched tightly. Reversing the direction in which the face is turned reverses the position. The tonic neck position is often described as the fencer's position because it resembles the stance of a fencer.The TRUNCAL INCURVATION or Galant reflex is elicited by stroking or tapping along the side of the spine while the infant lays on the stomach. The infant will twitch his or her hips toward the side of the stimulus in a "dancing' movement.The GRASP REFLEX is elicited by placing a finger on the infant's open palm. The hand will close around the finger. Attempting to remove the finger causes the grip to tighten. Newborn infants have strong grasps and can almost be lifted from the examination table if both hands are used.The ROOTING REFLEX is elicited by stroking the cheek. The infant will turn toward the side that was stroked and begin to make sucking motions with its mouth.The PARACHUTE REFLEX occurs in the slightly older infant, and is elicited by holding the child upright then rotating the body quickly face forward (as if falling). The arms are reflexively extended as if to break a fall even though this reflex appears long before walking.Examples of reflexes that persist into adulthood are:Blinking reflex -- you blink your eyes when they are touched or when sudden bright light appearsCough reflex -- you cough when your airway is stimulatedGag reflex -- you gag when the throat or back of mouth is stimulatedSneeze reflex -- you sneeze when nasal passages are irritatedYawn reflex - you yawn when the body needs additional oxygenCommon CausesAbnormal presence of infant reflexes can occur in adults with:Brain damageStrokeCall your health care provider ifAbnormal infant reflexes are usually discovered by the health care provider during exams performed for other reasons. The parents of an infant may be aware of the condition.What to expect at your health care provider's officeThe health care provider will perform a physical examination and ask questions about the child's medical history.Questions may include:What reflexes were present?At what age did each infant reflex disappear?What other symptoms are also present? (For example, decreased alertness or seizures.)
