Location of DRG & Nucleus
Dorsal medulla
Nucleus tractus solitarius
Location of VRG & Nucleus
Ventral-lateral medulla
Nucleus ambiguus & retro-ambiguus
Function of DRG & VRG
Mnemonics?
(DIN VEX)
DRG - inspiration
VRG - expiration
Inspiratory Ramp Signal
Inhale
Exhale
Inhale = 2 sec ON Exhale = 3 sec OFF
Location of Pneumotaxic & Apneustic
PULA
Upper pons
Lower pons
Function of Pneumotaxic
Limits inspiration by “switching off” the IRS
Control the rate and depth of breathing
Function of Apneustic
Prevents the “switching off”
