| Past 20 months (old age), sensory nerves show a steady decline in the numbers of axons, myelin and fiber thickness, and sensory NCV. They are significantly more likely to affect sensory nerves than motor nerves. As a consequence, stimulation of the sensory nerves by airborne irritants has the potential to cause a new inflammatory cycle that is mediated by the attraction of NK1 receptor-expressing T-helper lymphocytes and monocytes into the airway and activated by substance P. |
