The apneustic center is a part of the respiratory center. It is located in the pons of the brainstem. The pons plays a role in regulating the respiratory process. The medulla also has a role in respiration (contains the rhythmicity center), but the apneustic center is specifically in the pons. The aortic arch and carotid artery are involved in chemoreception related to blood - gas levels (they have chemoreceptors), not the location of the apneustic center.
