Summary Introduction

To review:

The two main brain areas associated with the nervous control of breathing.

Introduction:

Medulla and pons are the major brain areas dedicated to the nervous regulation of breathing. These two nervous centers contain breathing centers that control the movement of diaphragm and external intercostal muscles. These regions control the rhythm of breathing.

What regions of the brain holds the integrating centers for the regulation of ventilation?
1) During alveolar HYPERventilation, levels of blood CO2 drop while blood O2 is elevated. What reflexive responses will this stimulate from the CPG?   a) Increased DRG and VRG activity in the medulla, stimulating I and E motor neurons.   b) Decreased DRG and VRG activity in the medulla, stimulating I and E motor neurons.   c) Decreased DRG and VRG activity in the medulla, inhibiting I and E motor neurons.   d) Increased DRG and VRG activity in the medulla, inhibiting I and E motor neurons.
