sensors, effectors and central controller
what are the 3 elements of the centeral controller
pons, medulla and other parts
effectors example
respiratory muscles
examples of sensors
chemo, lung and mechano receptors
where are the central chemoreceptors located
ventral surface of medulla
or
retrotrapezoid nucleus
what does not cross the blood brain barrier
h+
what diffuses through into the cerebral spinal fluid
co2
co2 binds to what to form carbonic acid
h20
carbonic acid dissociates into what 2 things
h+ and bicarbonate
changes in cerebral spinal fluid activate what
central chemoreceptors
where is the respiratory rhythm is generated
medulla
what is the primary muscle of inspiration
diaphragm
what is the primary regulated variable
partial pressure of co2 - Paco2
which part of the respiratory control system is voluntary
cortical
which part of the respiratory control system is automatic
