Document Summary

Breathing, or pulmonary ventilation, consists of a repetitive cycle of inspiration (inhaling) and expiration (exhaling). One complete breath is called the respiratory cycle. Dependence on the brain, two reasons: (1) skeletal muscles, unlike cardiac muscle, cannot contract without nervous stimulation, (2) breathing involves the well-orchestrated action of multiple muscles and thus requires a central coordinating mechanism. The ventral respiratory group (vrg) is the primary generator of the respiratory rhythm. The dorsal respiratory group is one of the mechanisms that modifies this basic respiratory rhythm. The pontine respiratory group on each side of the pons receives input from higher brain centres including the hypothalamus, limbic system, and cerebral cortex, and issues output to both the. Central and peripheral input to the respiratory centers. Central chemoreceptors are brainstem neurons that respond especially to changes in the ph of the cerebrospinal fluid. Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the carotid and aortic bodies of the large arteries above the heart.
