The duration of inspiration can be reduced by:

1.  an increase of carbon dioxide in blood
2.  a chemical signal from aortic and carotid bodies
3.  a neural signal from pneumotaxic center
4.  an increase in hydrogen ion concentration in CSF

Pneumotaxic center:

1. moderates the function of the rhythm center
2. establishes the respiratory rhythm
3. is located in medulla oblongata
4. reduces the duration of expiration and thereby alters the respiratory rate
