5 Flashcards
what has parabronchi?
crocidilians and birds
breathing rhythm generated where
within the brain stem and transmitted to respiratory muscles
inherent rhythmicity generated within what?
medulla oblongata
rhythmicity is influenced by inpours from what 3 things
pons, hypothalmus, cortex and other areas
what limits duration of inspiration (off switch) and adjusts sensitivity of dorsal respiratory group to various stimuli?
pontines or pons
what sends efferent fibers to diaphragm?
phrenic nerve
during inspiration you get increasing/decreasing phrenic nerve activity, and increase/decrease in intrapulmonary pressure?
increase, decrease
when CO2 raises, does phrenic nerve increase?
increases.
breathing rhythm modified by what two things?
chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors
where are stretch receptors located and where are they found?
in smaller airways (bronchioles). stimulated by inflation
affarent impulses do what to medullary and pontine centers which causes what?
inhibit them, terminatiing inspiration
explain hering-breuer reflex
stronger in newborn and non human mammals. stretch receptors work a lot better
response of stretch receptors is dimished by what?
increasing Co2
where are central chemoreceptors ?
ventral surface
ventral surface of medulla sensitive to what?
PH
what happens with an increase in H+? does it cross the bbb
increase in ventilation. no it does not.
when can H+ cross the bbb?
during extreme acidosis
does CO2 cross the bbb?
YES IT DOES
