The part of the human brain where the main respiratory center is located is:
1. | pons varolii | 2. | cerebrum |
3. | medulla oblongata | 4. | thalamus |
I: | The respiratory rhythm is present in the medulla region of the brain. |
II: | Pneumotaxic centre present in cerebrum can moderate the functions of the respiratory rhythm centre. |
I: | is located in the medulla oblongata. |
II: | regulates the duration of inhalation and increases respiratory rate. |
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 |
The respiratory center in humans can be primarily stimulated by:
1. carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions
2. oxygen gas levels in the blood
3. oxygen gas levels in the hemoglobin
4. conscious feeling for the need for more oxygen
Statement I: | Peripheral chemoreceptors can recognise changes in \(CO_2\) and \(H^+\) concentration |
Statement II: | The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is quite insignificant |
1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct |
4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect |
