'Inflation of the lungs will induce fuher distension'; this is referred to as:

Head's paradoxical reflex is an example of positive feedback; distension --> fuher distension --> fuhermore distension. This occurs at bih, when the lungs are in a collapsed state and they are beginning to function thereafter. J-reflex:- Stimulation of J-receptors (pulmonary edema/congestion) --> apnea followed by rapid shallow breathing, bradycardia, hypotension.
