Control of Respiration

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Actual or hypothetical respiratory control centers in the pons   Apneustic center, Pnemotaxic center  
🗑
Respiratory control centers in the medulla   VRG(ventral resp group, DRG(dorsal resp group)  
🗑
Respond to overinflation and underinflation of the lungs   Stretch receptors in the lungs  
🗑
Respond to decreased oxygen levels in the blood   Chemoreceptors in the aortic arch and the carotid body  
🗑
Also called the inspiratory center   dorsal resp group(DRG)  
🗑
Medullary area that contains approximately even numbers of neurons involved in inspiration and expiration   ventral resp group(VRG)  
🗑
The breathing "rhythm" center   dorsal resp group(DRG)  
🗑
Basically acts to inhibit the dorsal respiratory group(DRG)   Pneumotaxic center  
🗑
Why is it inadvisable to administer pure O2 to a patient who suffers from pulm dz and retains carbon dioxide?   Declining oxygen level provide the respiratory drive therefore pure oxygen would cause apnea  
🗑
Arterial PO2 below 60mmHg stimulates hyperventilation primarily affects:   Peripheral chemoreceptors  
🗑
Decrease in arterial pH stimulates hyperventilation primarily affects:   Peripheral chemoreceptors  
🗑
Increase in PCO2 in the CSF causes increases in respiratory rate and depth primarily affects:   central chemoreceptors  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
