Respiratory Center
• Group of neurons in the pons and medulla oblongata that control the rate and depth of breathing
![Page 3: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Respiratory Center
• Group of neurons in the pons and medulla oblongata that control the rate and depth of breathing
• Inspiratory area sends impulses to the diaphragm and, for deeper breathing, to the external intercostal muscles. Muscles contract and inspiration occurs

Respiratory Center
• Group of neurons in the pons and medulla oblongata that control the rate and depth of breathing
• Inspiratory area sends impulses to the diaphragm and, for deeper breathing, to the external intercostal muscles. Muscles contract and inspiration occurs
• Nerves fatigue quickly and stop sending impulses. Muscles then relax and expiration occurs. When forceful expiration is necessary, expiratory area sends impulses to the internal intercostal muscles

Chemoreceptors
• Receptors in the medulla oblongata that are sensitive to changes in CO2 and H+ (acidity) levels
![Page 7: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Chemoreceptors
• Receptors in the medulla oblongata that are sensitive to changes in CO2 and H+ (acidity) levels
• If CO2 and H+ levels increase, the chemoreceptors stimulate the respiratory center to increase the rate and depth of breathing
![Page 8: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chemoreceptors
• Receptors in the medulla oblongata that are sensitive to changes in CO2 and H+ (acidity) levels
• If CO2 and H+ levels increase, the chemoreceptors stimulate the respiratory center to increase the rate and depth of breathing
• Receptors sensitive to oxygen levels are located in the aorta. However, low oxygen level is not as strong a stimulus for breathing as high CO2 level.

Stretch Receptors
• As alveoli in the lungs expand, stretch receptors are stimulated
![Page 10: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stretch Receptors
• As alveoli in the lungs expand, stretch receptors are stimulated
• Stretch receptors initiate the Hering-Breuer reflex, which prevents overinflation of the lungs. Impulses travel to medulla oblongata where they inhibit the inspiratory neurons.

Stimulus from higher brain centers
• Impulses from higher brain can temporarily override the respiratory center.
![Page 12: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stimulus from higher brain centers
• Impulses from higher brain can temporarily override the respiratory center.
• Impulses may be voluntary (singing, holding your breath) or involuntary (emotions, sudden pain or cold)
![Page 13: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stimulus from higher brain centers
• Impulses from higher brain can temporarily override the respiratory center.
• Impulses may be voluntary (singing, holding your breath) or involuntary (emotions, sudden pain or cold)
• When CO2 levels reach a critical point, impulses from the higher brain centers are ignored and the respiratory center resumes control

Temperature
• Increase in body temperature causes increase in breathing rate.
![Page 15: Regulation of respiration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052307/55498523b4c905c26a8b4bb6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Temperature
• Increase in body temperature causes increase in breathing rate.
• Higher temperature leads to higher metabolism and more CO2 production
