Question 25

Which respiratory center in the lower pons stimulates the inspiratory medullary center to promote deep prolonged inspirations.

Pneumotaxic center

Question 27

Differentiate peripheral chemoreceptors and central chemoreceptors

Answer 27

Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the aortic arch and the carotid arteries and responds first to changes in paO2, then to partial pressure of carbon dioxide(paCO2) and ph Central chemoreceptors: located in the medulla respond to chemical changes in the cerebrospinal fluid which result from increase or decrease in the ph and convey a message to the lungs to change the depth and then the rate of ventilation to correct the imbalance.
