Experiments on Respiration Component 3 A Give an account of the neuronal and chemical control of respiration. Breathing has 2 types of interacting mechanisms, the first interacting mechanisms is the voluntary system, this is near the cerebral cortex and 2nd is the automatic system that is in the medulla oblongata and pons. Neural control occurs in the medullary rhythm city centre, which is found in the medulla oblongata. There are 2 interconnected centres situated in the medullary rhythm city centre, the inspiratory centre and expiratory centre. There are 2 sets of chemoreceptors that exist, these are: * Central Chemoreceptors: Responsive to arterial by way of hydrogen ion concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). * Peripheral Chemoreceptors: Responsive to arterial, and hydrogen ion concentration. The activity inspiratory centre and expiratory centre is controlled by feedback from many sensors found throughout the nervous system. The sensors in the nervous system send Feedback, which is classed as chemical stimuli, or non-chemical stimuli. The...
