Published 01/14/2024 {{c1::Peripheral}} chemoreceptors are located in the {{c2::carotid bodies}} and {{c2::aortic bodies}}
Published 01/14/2024 Breathing as an involuntary process is controlled by the {{c1::medulla}} and {{c2::pons}} of the brain stem
Published 01/14/2024 The {{c1::medullary}} respiratory center is located in the reticular formation and contains an inspiratory and expiratory center
Published 01/14/2024 The dorsal and ventral respiratory groups are located in the {{c1::medulla}} of the brain stem
Published 01/14/2024 The {{c1::dorsal}} respiratory group is primarily responsible for {{c2::inspiration}} and generates the basic rhythm for breathing
Published 01/14/2024 The dorsal respiratory group receives sensory input from peripheral chemoreceptors via the {{c1::glossopharyngeal (CN IX)}} and {{c1::vagus (CN X)}} n…
Published 01/14/2024 The dorsal respiratory group receives sensory input from lung stretch receptors via the {{c1::vagus (CN X)}} nerve
Published 01/14/2024 The dorsal respiratory group sends its motor output to the diaphragm via the {{c1::phrenic}} nerve
Published 01/14/2024 The {{c1::ventral}} respiratory group is primarily responsible for {{c2::expiration}} and is not active during normal, quiet breathing
Published 01/14/2024 The {{c1::apneustic}} center is located in the lower pons and {{c2::stimulates}} inspiration
Published 01/14/2024 The {{c1::pneumotaxic}} center is located in the upper pons and {{c2::inhibits}} inspiration
Published 01/14/2024 Commands from the {{c1::cerebral cortex}} can temporarily override the automatic respiratory brain stem centers
Published 01/14/2024 Where are the central chemoreceptors located?{{c1::Medulla}}
Published 01/14/2024 Central chemoreceptors are especially sensitive to the {{c1::pH}} of the {{c2::cerebrospinal fluid}}
Published 01/14/2024 In response to {{c2::decreased}} pH sensed by chemoreceptors, the breathing rate {{c1::increases (hyperventilation)}}
Published 01/14/2024 Central chemoreceptors respond indirectly to increased {{c1::Pco2}} and directly to decreased {{c1::pH}}
Published 01/14/2024 Where are the peripheral chemoreceptors located? {{c1::Carotid bodies and aortic bodies::2}}
Published 01/14/2024 Peripheral chemoreceptors respond to decreases in {{c1::Pao2}} and {{c1::pH}}
Published 01/14/2024 Peripheral chemoreceptors respond to increases in {{c1::Pco2}}
Published 01/14/2024 Peripheral chemoreceptors respond to decreased Po2 when the arterial Po2 is less than {{c1::60}} mmHg
Published 01/14/2024 Increases in arterial H+ stimulate the {{c1::carotid}} body peripheral chemoreceptors only, independent of changes in Pco2
Published 01/14/2024 {{c1::Lung stretch}} receptors are mechanoreceptors located in the smooth muscle of the airways
Published 01/14/2024 Lung stretch receptors cause a(n) {{c1::decreased}} breathing frequency in response to distention of the lungs (Hering-Breuer reflex)
Published 01/14/2024 {{c1::Irritant}} receptors are located between the airway epithelial cells and are stimulated by noxious substances
Published 01/14/2024 {{c1::Joint}} and {{c1::muscle}} receptors are activated during movement of the limbs and stimulate early breathing during exercise
Published 01/14/2024 {{c1::Juxtacapillary (J)}} receptors are located in the alveolar walls and cause rapid, shallow breathing in response to pulmonary capillary engorgeme…
