4 things

A
  • Located in aortic bodies and carotid bodies.

  • Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the carotid and aortic bodies. They mainly respond to decreased arterial PO2, but are also stimulated by increased PCO2 and H+ (rapidly responding).

Q

Central Controller

Medullary respiratory center

DRG

VRG

2 parts

Apneaustic area in pons

Pneumotaxic center of pons

A
  • Dorsal respiratory group (DRG): Cells have inherent rhythm that causes inspiratory cycles , controls diaphragm & external intercostals. Active for 2 sec during inspiration & quiet for 3 sec during expiration.
  • Ventral respiratory group (VRG): Increased DRG activity stimulates the VRG which stimulates internal intercostals & abdominal muscle layers during forced expiration.

Apneustic: Stimulates DRG for normal inspiration (2 sec) or longer during forced inspiration (maximum inhalation)

Pneumo:

  • Inhibits apneustic area to allow exhalation;
  • Modifies the pace set by DRG and VRG;
  • Its absence causes increase in depth of respiration and a decrease in respiratory rate.

Mechanism of Smooth muscle relaxation by B2 agnosts

Activation of β2-adrenergic receptors leads to the activation of adenyl cyclase and to an increase in cAMP. This causes smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation in the combination of 2 factors:

A
  • cAMP leads to the activation of Protein kinase A (PKA)
  • cAMP lowers intracellular ionic concentrations
    • Inactive myosin light chain kinase activate myosin light chain phophatase causes relaxations
