Respiratory Control Rhythmogenesis - Karius Flashcards
Hypoxia
low O2 in the blood
Apnea
stuck in expiration
- damage to medullary or spinal area
- immediate high CO2, H+, low O2
Hypoventilation
high CO2, causing more rapid breathing
Rate of breathing is determines by what calculation
Ve = f x TV
active phrenic nerve causes
inhalation
DRG location
Dorsal Respiratory Group
Part of Nucleus Solitarius
DRG function
Pattern Generator for depth in TV
= gets sensory input from skin and world and phrenic N activates diaphragm for depth in breathing
VRG location
Ventral Respiratory Group
Nucleus Abiguous and Retreo Amigualis
VRG Function
Pattern generator also for TV
sends signal to the inhalation and exhalation muscles for depth of breathing
ROSTRAL part = to inhalation muscles motor neurons
CAUDAL part = to exhalation muscles motor neurons
PRG location
MORE rostral to the Botzinger complex
PRG function
ENDING inspiration
LESION = APNEUSIS
*has some role in timing of breathing (ending inspiration faster = higher frequency)
Pre-Botzinger complex location
Rostral to the VRG
Pre-Botzinger complex function
RHYTHM of breathing = FREQUENCY
- part of central pattern generator (core rhythm)
- very important in infants
what medullary complex is activated first
- the Pre-Botzinger setting frequency + PRG (stop inhalation also involved in f indirectly
- then the VRG/DRG for TV depth of breathing
Apneusis
cant stop inspiration stuck in inspiration *phrenic nerve never turns off - due to pontine damage - slight delay, however then high CO2, H+, and low O2
