Extra
A transection at the mid-pontine level removes the influence of pneumotaxic center on the apneustic center. If the vagi are intact, this results in regular, deep breathing. If the vagi are also cut, it leads to prolonged inspiratory effort, known as apneusis.
Effects of Various Lesions and Brainstem Transections
Label | Level of transection | Vagi intact | Vagi cut |
A | Complete transection above pons | Regular breathing continues | Regular breathing continues but depth of inspiration increases |
B | Mid-pontine level section | Regular breathing continues | Apneusis develops |
C | Transection midway between pons and medulla | Irregular but rhythmic respiration | Irregular but rhythmic respiration |
D | Complete transection below medulla | Spontaneous respiration ceases | Spontaneous respiration ceases |
