Nerve: The irritation of the nerve that lies in your bronchial tubes is transmitted through the other nerves reaching the ones that supply your chin and your neck. This the principle that lies in the theory of treating cough by stimulating the skin nerves with Vicks rub or like substances. The impulse from the skin nerves is transmitted through nerve conduits to the ones that supply bronchi.
