Regulation of Respiration

Regulation of respiration is a process that keeps pace with moment to moment changes in _______________ and ______________ production.

• nerve.....energy

• cellular oxygen.....carbon dioxide

• central.....nervous

• brain stem.....arteries

The two ways to regulate respiration in the human body are through the _____________ control and ____________ control.

• oxygen.....chemical

• cerebral cortex

• central nervous.....chemical

Where are Chemoreceptors located and what do they do?

• Keep pace with moment-to-moment changes in cellular oxygen requirements and carbon dioxide production.

• They are located in the brain stem and arteries. They are chemical sensors in the brain that identify changing levels of of oxygen and carbon dioxide

• Located in the lungs and allows you to breathe at slow and fast rates.

The _______________ is voluntary and allows you to breathe deliberatly at a faster or slower pace.

• Regulation of Respiration

• Chemoreceptors

• Cerebral cortex

• Mechanoreceptors

What is the definition of Regulation of Respiration

• Respond to position change and movement- increasing respiration as we move.

• A complex process that must keep pace with moment-to-moment changes in cellular oxygen requirements and carbon dioxide production.

• Sensory receptor cells located in the aortic arch and carotid arteries.

• Receives pain and emotion responses from the body and adjusts the respiratory pattern. (anxiety, exercise, etc.)

What is Hypothamus?

• Located in the muscles and joints.

• Receives pain and emotion responses from the body and adjusts the respiratory pattern. (anxiety, exercise, etc.)

• Respond to position change and movement- increasing respiration as we move.

• Voluntary

What are Mechanoreceptors?

Select ALL that apply

• Located in the muscles and joints.

• They prevent the overexpansion of the lungs.

• Respond to position change and movement- increasing respiration as we move.

• Receives pain and emotion responses from the body

What are Stretch Receptors?

Select ALL that apply

• Located in the Lungs airways.(smooth muscles of bronchi and bronchioles.)

• They prevent the overexpansion of the lungs.

• Located in the brain stem and arteries.

• Chemical sensors

Peripheral Chemorceptors

Select ALL that apply

• Sensory receptor cells located in the aortic arch and carotid arteries.

• Carotid bodies: Carotid arteries that run through the neck and the brain.

• Aortic Bodies: found in the aortic arch, an arterial feature near the heart.

• They regulate Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Hydrogen.

Central Chemoreceptors

Select ALL that apply

• Regulates the respiratory pattern based on Carbon Dioxide Levels.

• Central Nervous Control

• Located on either side of the brain stem, near the medulla.

• Chemical Control
