The correct Answer is:
To find the correct path for the regulation of respiration in human beings, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Main Respiratory Center**: - The primary respiratory rhythm center is located in the medulla oblongata, which is labeled as **R**. This center is responsible for generating the basic rhythm of breathing. 2. **Influencing Centers**: - The **Pneumotaxic center** located in the pons, labeled as **RT**, plays a role in regulating the rate and pattern of breathing. It can influence the respiratory rhythm set by the medulla. 3. **Chemosensitive Areas**: - The **Chemosensitive area** in the medulla, labeled as **C1**, detects changes in the chemical composition of the blood, such as levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen. This information is crucial for adjusting the breathing rate. 4. **Peripheral Chemoreceptors**: - The **Peripheral chemoreceptors**, labeled as **C2**, are located in the aortic arch and carotid arteries. They also monitor blood chemistry and send signals to the respiratory centers to adjust breathing as necessary. 5. **Integration of Signals**: - The respiratory center in the medulla (**R**) is influenced by the inputs from the pneumotaxic center (**RT**), the chemosensitive area (**C1**), and the peripheral chemoreceptors (**C2**). Together, these components work to regulate the respiratory rhythm according to the body's demands. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct path for the regulation of respiration is: **C1 (Chemosensitive area) → C2 (Peripheral chemoreceptors) → RT (Pneumotaxic center) → R (Respiratory rhythm center in medulla)**. ### Final Answer: The correct path for the regulation of respiration is: **C1 → C2 → RT → R**. ---

Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option. Human beings have a significant ability to maintain and moderate the respiratory rhythm to suti the demands of the body tissues. This is done by the neural system. A specialised centre present in the medulla region of the brain called overset((i))"_______" is primarily responsible for this regulation. Another centre present in the pons region of the brain called overset((ii))"_______" can moderate the functions of the repiratory rhytm cenre. Neutral signal from this cenre cen reduce the duration of overset((iii))"_______" and thereby alter the respiratory rate. A overset((iv))"_______" is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO_(2) and hydrogen ions.

Pick out the correct statements: a) Pneumotaxic centre moderates the functioning of respiratory rhythm centre. b) Pneumotaxic centre is primarily responsible for regulation of respiratory movements. c) Decrease in pH of cerebrospinal fluid is detected by medulla. d) The role of carbon dioxide in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is quite insignificant.

Which of the following statements are CORRECT ? I. A specialized center present in the medulla region of the brain called respiratory rhythm center is primarily responsible for the regulation of respiration. II. A Chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm which is highly sensitive to O_2,CO_2 and hydrogen ions . III . Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery also can recognize changes in CO_2 and H^+ concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm center for remedial actions. IV The neural signal from the pneumatic center can increase the duration of inspiration and thereby alter the respiratory rate .

Go through the following statements (i) the peripheral chemoreceptors for regulation of respiration are located in carotid veins and arch of aorta (ii) the primary effect of pneumotaxic centre is to control the switch off point of inspiratory signal and thus limit inspiraton (iii) the chemosensitve area for brain for respiratory control is highly sensitive to O_(2) concentration (iv) In case of fetal haemoglobin the oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curve is shifted toward left which of these are correct ? (a) i, ii & iv (b) ii and iv (c) ii, iii & iv (d) iii and iv

A specialized centre present in the medulla region of the brain called _________________A_______________ is primarily responsible for this regulation. Another centre present in the pons region of the brain called _________________B_______________ can moderate the funtions of the _________________A_______________. Neural signal from this centre can _________________C_______________ the duration of inspiration and thereby alter the respiratory rate. _________________D_______________ is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to _________________E_______________
