Q

Dorsal Respiratory group

A
  • Principal Initiators do the PHRENIC Nerve group
  • Receive many fibers from the VENTRAL respiratory group
  • Mainly Associated with Inspiration
  • Establishes the RAMP Signal

Q

Type I Carotid Body cells on LOW PO2 levels

A
  • Closes channels and result in DEPOLARIZATION
  • Opens Up CALCIUM channels
  • NT Release

Q

Type I Carotid Body cells on High PO2 LEVELS

A
  • PO2 Dep K+ channels result in EFFLUX of K+

- Leads to HYPER-POLARIZATION

17
Q

J receptors travel to the brain via what nerve?

18
Q

A STRONG PRG Signal results in how many breaths per minute?

19
Q

Chemoreceptors in the Presence of Hypoxia or Hypercapnia

A

INCREASE their activity rate

20
Q

A WEAK PRG Signal results in how many breaths per minute?

21
Q

Primary fxn of the PRG

A

Pneumotaxic Center of the brain

  • Controls the “OFF-Switch” point of the INSPIRATORY ramp
22
Q

Ramp Signal during Heavy Respiration

A
  • Signals Increase RAPIDLY
23
Q

J Receptor

A
  • Sensory endings (C fibers)
  • In the alveolar wall
  • Juxtaposition to Pulmonary Capillaries
24
Q

Ramp Signal

A

Nervous signals transmitted to the INSPIRATORY Muscles

  • Mostly to the DIAPHRAGM
25
Q

What results in decreased activity in most neurons

A
  • Hypercapnia

- Hypoxia

26
Q

T/F: J receptor reflexes override the Normal Respiratory control mechanisms
