There are several other types of receptors aiding and contributing to effective ventilation. Complete the following exercise to gain further insight into the essence of respiratory function:

Identify what effect the following limited list of receptors have on ventilation/respiration; the first is completed for you:

Pain receptors have an effect on respiration by initially causing apnoea which is closely followed by hyperventilation

Irritant receptors

Stretch receptors

Arterial baroreceptors

Once you have completed the exercise, think about how you would identify the cause of hyperventilation in an acute clinical presentation.
