Anatomy of a Cough

Line illustrations showing that complex reflex arc begins with irritation or stimulus of a receptor or nerve ending that connects to the ciliated epithelial cells of the airway mucosa. The receptors send the stimulus via the 10th cranial nerve or the cough center in the upper brainstem and pons. This, in turn, sends it to the respiratory muscles to produce a cough.
