: Contains the Pneumotaxic center (limits inspiration to prevent over-inflation) and the Apneustic center (promotes deeper, longer inspiration).
: A cluster of neurons in the medulla that acts as the essential "pacemaker" for the basic respiratory rhythm. 2. Chemical Regulation (Chemoreceptors) Section Three: Chapter 19: Respiratory Control reguljacija dyhanija shema
The primary "rhythm generator" for breathing is located in the brainstem: : Contains the Pneumotaxic center (limits inspiration to
The regulation of breathing () is a complex physiological process that maintains homeostatic levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood pH. It involves an integrated "schema" of neural centers and chemical sensors. 1. The Neural Control Center (The Brainstem) The Neural Control Center (The Brainstem) : Contains
: Contains the Dorsal Respiratory Group (DRG) , which primarily controls inspiration, and the Ventral Respiratory Group (VRG) , which acts during forceful breathing (like exercise).
