The general physiology of respiratory function of upper airway muscles is presented. Comparative aspects of upper airway structure and of breathing mechanism are discussed briefly. Contribution of upper airway inspiratory muscle activity and roles of muscle activity during post inspiratory phase are described. The activity of upper airway muscles or innervating cranial nerve motoneurons and their alteration by chemical stimuli are greatly modified by vagal pulmonary afferents. Functional significance of these changes during upper airway obstruction are discussed.
本文介绍了上呼吸道肌肉呼吸功能的一般生理学。简要讨论了上呼吸道结构和呼吸机制的比较方面。描述了上呼吸道吸气肌活动的贡献以及吸气后阶段肌肉活动的作用。迷走神经肺传入神经对上呼吸道肌肉或支配颅神经运动神经元的活动及其化学刺激引起的改变有很大影响。讨论了上呼吸道阻塞期间这些变化的功能意义。
