Q

During expiration a greater visual of air moves…

A

18
Q

What is the chemical control receptor

A

The chemoreceptors

19
Q

What are the three neural control receptors

A
  1. Thermoreceptors
  2. Proprioceptors
  3. Baroreceptors
20
Q

Define the respiratory control centre (RCC)

A

The RCC is situated in the brain and controls breathing rate and depth

21
Q

Define what the inspiratory centre does (IC)

A

Part of the RCC that controls inspiration

22
Q

Define what the expiratory centre is (EC)

A

The EC is part of the RCC that controls expiration

23
Q

Define what the phrenic nerve is

A

The phrenic nerve stimulates the diaphragm to contract

24
Q

Define what the intercostal nerve does

A

The intercostal nerve stimulates the external intercostals to contract

25
Q

Describe what the Hering-Breuer reflex is (3 parts)

A
  1. Specialised baroreceptors between ribs that monitor lung stretch
  2. When a threshold is reached it stimulates the EC to become active which stimulates the additional muscles to contract
  3. Causes a faster and greater expiration
