Electrophysiological properties of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus motoneurones controlling airway mucus secretion in rats

Abstract The parasympathetic efferent innervation to the respiratory airways controls bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion. It is known that the parasympathetic respiratory motoneurones (PRMNs) projecting to the airways are located in the nucleus ambiguus (NA) and dorsal motor...
