Respiration controlled by
neurons in pons & medulla
ON TEST
where is respiratory center located
respiratory center
3 groups of neurons
medullary rhythmicity
pneumotaxic
apneustic centers
rhythm of breathing
medullary rythmicity
lung movement
pneumotaxic
come in to play when stop breathing
apneustic center
Controls basic rhythm of respiration
Inspiration for 2 seconds, expiration for 3
Autorhythmic cells active for 2 seconds then inactive
Expiratory neurons inactive during most quiet breathing only active during high ventilation rates
medulaary rthymicity area
constant inhibitory impulses to inspiratory area
neurons trying to turn off inspiration before lungs too expanded
Pneumotaxic Area
stimulatory signals to inspiratory area to prolong inspiration
Apneustic Area
voluntarily alter breathing patterns
limitations are buildup of CO2 & H+ in blood
inspiratory center is stimulated by increase in either
if you hold breathe until you faint—-breathing will resume
cortical influences–regulation of respiratory center
chemical regulation of respiration
central chemoreceptors in medulla
peripheral chemoreceptors
respond to changes in H+ or pCO2
hypercapnia = slight increase in pCO2 is noticed
Central chemoreceptors in medulla
respond to changes in H+ , pO2 or PCO2 aortic body---in wall of aorta nerves join vagus carotid bodies--in walls of common carotid arteries nerves join glossopharyngeal nerve
Peripheral chemoreceptors
MICRO ESSAY
name 2 conditions that will increase, decrease ventilation rate and depth
Increase 1. voluntary 2. increase body temp Decrease 1. lower temp 2. pain causes apnea
Deficiency of O2 at tissue level
hypoxia
low pO2 in arterial blood
high altitude, fluid in lungs & obstructions
hypoxic hypoxia-
too little functioning Hb
hemorrhage or anemia
anemic hypoxia-
