The pontine respiratory group within the pons plays a key role in coordinating smooth transitions between inspiration and expiration by controlling the respiratory cycle. It includes both the inspiratory center, which helps initiate inspiration, and the expiratory center, which regulates the rate and depth of expiration. Together, these regions help maintain a coordinated and rhythmic breathing pattern.
Yes, the duration of inspiration or expiration can vary during forced vital capacity (FVC) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV) maneuvers. This variation is influenced by individual factors such as lung capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and airway resistance. In general, inspiration tends to take longer during FVC, while expiration tends to take longer during ERV.
The average inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) for adults is around 3,000-3,500 mL. This volume represents the maximum amount of air a person can inhale beyond their normal tidal volume during a deep breath. It is an important component of lung capacity and respiratory function.
The medical term you are looking for is "respiration," which refers to the process of breathing involving both inhalation and exhalation movements of the lungs.
Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation. But it differs from one person to another. For a normal sized male that would be 4600 ml.
The expiratory control center is activated during forced expiration, such as during vigorous physical activity or when there is an increased demand for airflow, like in coughing or sneezing. It primarily functions to regulate the muscles involved in expiration, particularly the abdominal and intercostal muscles, to enhance the expulsion of air from the lungs. This center is part of the medullary respiratory centers in the brainstem, which coordinate the rhythm and depth of breathing.
ACUTE EFFECT - The inspiratory and expiratory volume decreases during exercise
wheeze can be inspiratory or expiratory but stridor is mostly inspiratory
Expiraroty dyspnea (remember all pulmonary diseases have expiratory or mixed dyspneas and heart diseases are differentiated by inspiratory dyspneas)
Inspiratory and expiratory respiratory diseases.
It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume

No, the dorsal respiratory group is typically associated with the inspiratory phase of breathing, while the ventral respiratory group is considered the expiratory center in the central nervous system.
The amount of O2 inspired would be the same as CO2 expired only if the individual were burning strictly carbohydrates (1:1 respiratory coefficient). Respiratory coefficient= CO2 eliminated per O2 consumed. Because animals also burn fats and proteins, there is no longer a 1:1 ratio because these energy sources have greater O2 consumption vs CO2 production (0.7:1 for fats). Therefore, the decreased CO2 production will cause the expiratory V to be less than the inspiratory V.
Regular exercise can increase the strength and efficiency of respiratory muscles, including those involved in exhalation. This can lead to improved lung function, increased expiratory muscle strength, and potentially an increase in expiratory reserve volume over time.
Breathing is controlled mainly by the inspiratory and expiratory centres in the medulla oblongata of the brain.Pons varolli also helps in regulation of the actions of medulla oblongata.
