Control of Breathing — Flashcards

_____ generates the rhythm for automated breathing.

The ventral respiratory group contributes to the extra respiratory drive (_____ mechanism)

Peripheral chemoreceptors respond PRIMARILY to decreases in _____ and pH

The most important stimulus controlling the level of resting ventilation is _____ of CSF

The _____ respiratory group is primarily responsible for expiration and is not active during normal, quiet breathing

OSA, causes hypoventilation and resulting _____ hypoxia and hypercapnia

A deep breath _____ the secretion of surfactant by stretching the type II cells.

Both peripheral and central chemoreceptors contribute to increased ventilation that occurs as a result of decreased _____.

High altitude initially causes _____ alkalosis and hypoxia, which may cause acute altitude sickness

Central chemoreceptors respond indirectly to increased _____ and directly to decreased pH
