Question

complete each sentence with the correct word.

1. the (click to select) is the primary generator of the respiratory rhythm.
2. the (click to select) issues output to the vrg that modifies the respiratory rhythm to adapt to varying conditions.
3. the (click to select) receives input from higher brain centers and issues output to both the drg and vrg.
4. monitoring co₂ levels by detecting ph of the csf is the function of (click to select).
5. metabolic acidosis would stimulate the (click to select) leading to an increase in their rate of respiration.

(click to select)
central chemoreceptors
dorsal respiratory group
hering - breuer reflex
peripheral chemoreceptors
pontine respiratory group
ventral respiratory group

Explanation:

1. The dorsal respiratory group (DRG) is the primary generator of the respiratory rhythm.
2. The pontine respiratory group issues output to the VRG that modifies the respiratory rhythm to adapt to varying conditions.
3. The ventral respiratory group receives input from higher brain centers and issues output to both the DRG and VRG.
4. Central chemoreceptors monitor CO₂ levels by detecting pH of the CSF.
5. Metabolic acidosis would stimulate the peripheral chemoreceptors leading to an increase in their rate of respiration.

Answer:

1. dorsal respiratory group
2. pontine respiratory group
3. ventral respiratory group
4. central chemoreceptors
5. peripheral chemoreceptors
