Regulation of
Respiration
A
specialised respiratory centre present in the medulla oblongata of the hind
brain called respiratory rhythm centre
Pneumotaxic centre present in pons varoli
region of the brain moderates the function of the respiratory rhythm centre to
ensure normal breathing. The chemosensitive area found close to the rhythm
centre is highly sensitive to CO2 and H+. And H+ are eliminated out
by respiratory process. Receptors associated with the aortic arch and carotid
artery send necessary signals to the rhythm centre for remedial action. The
role of O2 is insignificant in the regulation of respiratory rhythm.
