TL;DR
The relatively small number of proprioceptive afferents in the phrenic nerve has been confirmed and it is concluded that except for the relative paucity of muscle receptors 'the proprioception innervation of the diaphragm is similar to that of skeletal muscle'.

It is pointed out that several of the results are best understood on the basis of the assumption that Sch, whatever it may do to the gamma fibre end plates, also affects the sensory Spindle organs directly.

This paper shows that the large fibres, whether afferent or efferent, are about equally sensitive, while the y motor fibres are much more rapidly paralysed.

The diameters of the fibres in the nerves innervating twenty-five muscles in the rabbit have been measured and two types of muscle nerves are distinguished and it is suggested that these unimodal nerves contain only a single class of fibre.

The vagal inhibitory-inspiratory reflex of Breuer (1868) has recently been found to be of minor importance or even absent in adult man, and it would seem possible to utilize this species for studies on the basic principles of proprioceptive control of the respiratory movements.

93 Citations1963Pritam K. Gill, M. Kuno
The present study is concerned with extrinsic factors which control the excitability of phrenic motoneurones, and it was envisaged that the effects of somatic afferent impulses are integrated at the medullary respiratory centre before being relayed to the phRenic mot oneurones.

The attention was drawn to the importance of the nerve supply of the crura because of the possibility that the branch to the left half of the right crus might be interfered with during the repair of the diaphragm.

Pretreatment with physostigmine potentiated the response of both a single rapid injection and an infusion of SCh; this was manifested by a decrease in the onset time of the response, an increased peak frequency, and a prolonged decay time for the response.
