respiratory regulation

Question 1

respiratory control

Answer 1

during exercise and recovery when the brain gets involved in regulating breathing rate

Question 2

respiratory control centre (RCC)

Answer 2

receives info from the sensory nerves and sends direction through motor nerves to change the rate of respiratory muscle contractions

Question 3

inspiratory centre

Answer 3

stimulates inspiratory muscles to contract at rest and during exercise

Question 4

expiratory centre

Answer 4

inactive at rest but will stimulate additional muscles to contract during exercise

Question 5

respiratory regulation at rest

Answer 5

IC stimulates the external intercostals to contract via the intercostal nerve and the diaphragm via the phrenic nerve

Question 6

thermoreceptors

Answer 6

detects an increase in blood temperature

Question 7

receptors for the IC

Answer 7

thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, proprioceptors inform the IC which increases stimulation of inspiratory and additional muscles to contract with more force

Question 8

receptors for the EC

Answer 8

baroreceptors inform the EC that the lungs have excessively stretched which causes the stimulation of additional muscles
