Stimulation of group III and IV muscle afferents reflexly decreases total pulmonary resistance in dogs

Although previous investigations have shown that stimulating group III and IV afferents reflexly decreased transverse tension from the trachealis muscle, these measurements provided no functional information about airway caliber. We therefore electrically stimulated gracilis muscle afferents in para...
