  2. Respiratory center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_center

    The apneustic center of the lower pons appears to promote inhalation by constant stimulation of the neurons in the medulla oblongata. The apneustic center sends signals to the dorsal group in the medulla to delay the 'switch off, the inspiratory off switch (IOS) signal of the inspiratory ramp provided by the pneumotaxic center. It controls the ...

    pneumotaxic center. Coordinates speed of inhalation and exhalation; Sends inhibitory impulses to the inspiratory area; Involved in fine tuning of respiration rate. apneustic center. Coordinates speed of inhalation and exhalation. Sends stimulatory impulses to the inspiratory area – activates and prolongs inhalations

  4. Pontine tegmentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontine_tegmentum

    The two respiratory areas – the pneumotaxic center and the apneustic center make up the pontine respiratory group that provide antagonistic control signals to the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) located in the medulla. Increased input from the pneumotaxic center decreases the duration and increases the frequency of bursts of activity in the ...

  5. Brainstem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem

    The pons houses the respiratory pneumotaxic center and apneustic center that make up the pontine respiratory group in the respiratory center. The pons co-ordinates activities of the cerebellar hemispheres. [10] The pons and medulla oblongata are parts of the hindbrain that form much of the brainstem.

  6. Apneustic respirations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apneustic_respirations

    Apneustic respiration (a.k.a. apneusis) is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by deep, gasping inspiration with a pause at full inspiration followed by a brief, insufficient release. Presentation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Bötzinger_complex

    The initial description of the preBötC was widely disseminated in a 1991 paper in Science, [1] but its discovery predates that paper by one year. [2] The team was led by Jack L. Feldman and Jeffrey C. Smith at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), but the Science paper [1] also included UCLA coauthor Howard Ellenberger, as well as Klaus Ballanyi and Diethelm W. Richter from ...

  9. Hering–Breuer reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hering–Breuer_reflex

    The Hering–Breuer inflation reflex, named for Josef Breuer and Ewald Hering, [1] [2] [3] is a reflex triggered to prevent the over-inflation of the lung. Pulmonary stretch receptors present on the wall of bronchi and bronchioles of the airways respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.
