What functions is the pontine respiratory group responsible for?

∙ 11y ago
it terminates inspiration and effects tidal volume. it directs the amount of air a person can breathe in. It signals the DRG to increase breathing rate when we need to breathe faster and can allow for breathing to slow down. This function is found in the stretch receptors of lungs in the respiratory system (redundunt feature).

What regulates smoothing of transitions from inspiration to expiration?
pontine respiratory group (PRG)
Is The ventral respiratory group is contained within the pons?
No, the ventral respiratory group is not contained within the pons. It is a collection of neurons in the medulla oblongata that plays a major role in regulating respiration. The pons is also involved in regulating breathing, but it houses the pontine respiratory group.
What modifies the medulla centers?
The pontine respiratory centers influence and modify the activity of the medullary neurons. The pontine respiratory group, formerly called the pneumotaxic center qand other centers transmit impulses to the vrg of the medulla. this input modifies and fine tunes the breathing rhythms generated by the vrg durng certain activities such as vocalizationm sleep,and exercise. as you would expect from these functins, the pontine respratory centers, like the drg, receive input from higher brain centers and from various sensory receptors in the periphery.
Nerve impulses that stimulate inspiration originate in which respiratory center?
The Pontine Respiratory Group stimulates abnormal breathing, called inspiration, during inhalation. The PRG consists of a network of neurons located in the rostral dorsal lateral pons.
What center is located in the pons?
pneumotaxic pontine respirator group (PRG)
What is respiratory circulation and its functions?
The respiratory system is the group of organs within your body that enables you to breathe. The circulation system circulates blood throughout your body,
Functions of a Treasurer?
The treasurer of a group is responsible for keeping a group or organizationâ??s financial books and records. They also handle bank accounts.
What is a consist of groups of organs that perform closely related functions?
group of cells = tissue group of tissues = organ group of organs= organ system eh respiratory system, skeletal system, muscle system
What center is located in pons?
pneumotaxic pontine respirator group (PRG)
Where in the medulla are the neurons that set the basic respiratory rhytm?
The answer is Ventral Respiratory Group or VRGIt contains the rhythm generators "whose output drives respiration".Hoehn, Marieb Human Anatomy & PhysiologyEighth Edition pg. 835
What function does the pneumotaxic center serve?
The pneumotaxic center is aka pontine respiratory group (PRG). Its function is to inhibit inspiration, regulating inspiratory volume and rate. It can be considered an antagonist to the apneustic center which produces abnormal, deep, prolonged inspiratory gasps. Both of these structures are found in the pons of the midbrain.
What respiratory group stimulates the intercostals?
Dorsal
