Cough sensors. I. Physiological and pharmacological properties of the afferent nerves regulating cough.

30 Dec 2008 The afferent nerves regulating cough have been reasonably well defined. The selective effects of general anesthesia on C-fiber-dependent cough and the opposing effects of C-fiber subtypes in cough have led to some uncertainty about their regulation ... Read more...

Cough sensors. II. Transient receptor potential membrane receptors on cough sensors.

30 Dec 2008 The transient receptor potential (TRP) family of channels is represented by at least six members in primary sensory neurons. These include the TRP vanilloid subtypes 1 (TRPV1), 2, 3, and 4, the cold and menthol receptor TRPM8, and TRPA1. Much ... Read more...

Cough sensors. III. Opioid and cannabinoid receptors on vagal sensory nerves.

30 Dec 2008 Cough is a persistent symptom of many inflammatory airways' diseases. Cough is mediated by receptors sited on sensory nerves and then through vagal afferent pathways, which terminate in the brainstem respiratory centre. Cough is often described as ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Animals'

Definition: Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain Eukarya.
