Regulation of Respiration Flashcards
What are the peripheral chemosensitive receptors (carotid and aortic receptors) involved in?
Controlling rate of respiration mostly monitor oxygen partial pressure in arterial blood.
The primary controller of the rate and depth of breathing?
The pneumotaxic center
The pneumotaxic center controls…
the “switch-off” point of the inspiratory ramp signal.
The primarily responsible for establishing the ramp signal during normal breathing?
The dorsal respiratory group…
What is primarily responsible for forced expiration?
The ventral respiratory group
What is referred to as Chyne- Stokes breathing; it is often assocaited with cardiac arrest?
A repeated breathing cycle consisting of a period of apnea replaced by a period of increasingly rapid and deep breathing .
J (juxtaglomerular) receptors ( C fibers)?
Sensitive to pulmonary edema such as occurs in congestive heart failure.
Responds the excessive stretching of the lung…
The Hering-Breuer reflex…
