                                                                Pulmonary Vagal C Fibers 

Pulmonary vagal C fibres are unmyelinated sensory nerve fibres located in the lungs and airways.

Sensory impulses travel through the vagus nerve.

Signals reach the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) in the medulla.

Respiratory and cardiovascular reflexes are produced.
