control of breathing Flashcards
(17 cards)
respiratory regulation: sensor
chemoreceptor
pulmonary receptor
respiratory regulation: processors
brainstem (automatic)
- medulla
- pons
cerebral cortex (voluntary)
respiratory regulation: processors
respiratory muscle:
D
I
Medullary: Dorsal
controls inspiration
send signals to motor neuron
medullary: ventral
induce both inspiration and expiration
inhibit in quiet breathing
Quiet breathing
passive exhalation
forced breathing
active exhalation
pneumotaxic centre
limit the duration of inspiration (shorter, rapid breaths)
increase breathing rate
apneustic centre
promote inspiration
stimulate DRG
prolonged the inspiration phase
during exercise
increased metabolic demand
-> stimulate the peripheral chemoreceptor -> send signal to brainstem -> pneumotaxic centre activation (limit duration of the breathing, increased breathing rate)
respiratory receptor
central chemoreceptor:
medulla oblongata
detect in cerebrospinal fluid
peripheral chemoreceptor:
carotid bodies, aortic bodies
detect in blood
response: IX, V nerves
other receptor
pulmonary stretch receptors
irritant receptor
Hering- Breuer reflex
prevent overinflation of lung
Hering- Breuer reflex: process
inspiration -> Vtidal > normal
-> stretching of lung -> detected by stretch receptor -> impulses send through vagal afferent -> inhibition of DGN (inhibit inspiration)
hypothalamus
emotional controls
cortical control
conscious breathing
