TLDR
The anatomy and the neuro-pathophysiology of the cough reflex arc are analyzed and the anatomic and pathophysiologic elements of evaluation of the complex and multiple etiologies of cough are provided.Abstract:
Coughing is an important defensive reflex that occurs through the stimulation of a complex reflex arc. It accounts for a significant number of consultations both at the level of general practitioner and of respiratory specialists. In this review we first analyze the cough reflex under normal conditions; then we analyze the anatomy and the neuro-pathophysiology of the cough reflex arc. The aim of this review is to provide the anatomic and pathophysiologic elements of evaluation of the complex and multiple etiologies of cough.read more

TL;DR: This review has attempted to give an account of an afferent vagal input from the lower respiratory tract that has still to be explored fully, and to present experimental evidence that this fine fibre afferent system plays a significant role in the neural control of respiratory function in both normal and pathological circumstances.
