Regulation of Respiration

Which of the following centre in the brain can reduce the inspiratory duration upon stimulation?

The primary role for controlling the respiratory rhythms is carried out by the pons and the medulla oblongata.

What is the function of the respiratory rhythm center?

The respiratory rhythmic centre is located in the lungs.

Which of the following is the respiratory rhythmic centre in the brain?

The chemosensitive area of the brain is stimulated by

Which receptor detects a decrease in ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ ? 

Breathing is controlled by

The concentration of which of the following can affect the rate and depth of breathing?

A specialized centre present in the medulla region of the brain called _____A______ is primarily responsible for this regulation. Another centre present in the pons region of the brain called _____B______ can moderate the functions of the _____A______. Neural signal from this centre can _____C______the duration of inspiration and thereby alter the respiratory rate. _____D______is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to _____E______.

Pneumotaxic centre is located dorsally in the upper pons. Primarily it controls the switch off point of inspiration. Whenever it sends strong signal, which of the following will not occur?

The respiratory centre in the brain is stimulated by:

The state, during which the respiratory centre is inhibited, is termed as

The rate of breathing is controlled by:

Rate of breathing is increased by

When CO2 concentration in blood increases breathing becomes
