<prompt> Hyperinflation of the lungs is prevented byHering Breuer reflexIrritation reflexCushing reflexBainbridge reflex  <response>: Hering-Breuer inflation reflex: This reflex is mediated by pulmonary stretch receptors in which inflation of lungs above a particular volume results in reflex inhibition of inspiration and union of expiration.The reflex tends to limit the tidal volume while increasing the respiratory frequency.Hering-Breuer deflation reflex: - Rapid deflation of lungs tends to initiate prolonged inspiration, i.e., reflex hyperpnea in response to deflation.
