Hope it helps ☺️

swwe: hey need reason

swwe: Pls explain

keeratjotkaur: The Hering–Breuer inflation reflex, named for Josef Breuer and Ewald Hering,[1][2][3] is a reflex triggered to prevent over-inflation of the lung. Pulmonary stretch receptors present in the smooth muscle of the airways respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.

Answered by maria9

the answer is

2. Hering-Breuer reflex

Receptors located in the lung and/or pleural tissues and stimulated by the pulmonary stretch associated with lung inflation terminate inspiration in a reflex that prevents overinflation of the lung.

Such reflexes are present in amphibians as well as mammals.
