<prompt> A patient with parotid gland cancer has damage to the glossopharyngeal nerve. As a result, which of the following respiratory reflexes will be impaired?Hering-Breuer inflation reflexJuxta pulmonary capillary J receptor reflexIrritant airway reflexCarotid body chemoreceptor reflex  <response>: The afferent pathway from the carotid body chemoreceptors is Herings nerve, a branch of cranial nerve IX, the glossopharyngeal nerve. The vagus nerve constitutes the afferent pathway from the aoic chemoreceptors, the J receptors, the irritant airway receptors, and the rapidly adapting stretch receptors mediating the Hering-Breuer inflation reflex.
