Respiratory process is regulated by certain specialized centres in the brain. One of the following listed centres can reduce the inspiratory duration upon stimulation

A

Medullary inspiratory centre

B

Pneumotaxic centre

C

Apneustic centre

D

Chemosensitive centre

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Pneumotaxic Centre Located in the dorsal part of pons varoii of the brain Can reduce the duration of inspiration and thus alter the respiratory rate.
Apneustic Centre Whereas is located In the lower partooi pons varoii is responsible to, m promoting inspiration process.
Chemosensitive Centre is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highiy sensitive to `CO_(2)` and hydrogen ions. Increase in `CO_(2)` and Win body and activates this centre for the elimiration of `CO_(2)` and H
Medullary lnspiratory Centre is a specialised region present in medulla of the brain. and is primarily responsible for regulating the respiratory rhythm.
