Answer:

Regulation of respiration (inspiration and expiration):

In the brain, the medulla oblongata contains a respiratory centre. This controls breathing. The respiratory centre consists of an inspiratory centre and an expiratory centre. The axons from the nerve cells of these centres lead to the intercostal muscles through the intercostal nerves and the diaphragm via the phrenic nerves. These nerve fibres transmit impulses to the external intercostal and internal intercostal muscles alternately. The walls of the alveoli have sense endings, which are stimulated by changes in the tension of alveolar walls.

When the alveoli are stretched at the height of inspiration the receptors send stimuli to the expiratory centre of the medulla through the vagus nerve which inhibits further inspiration. This sequence of events is called Herring-Bruer reflex. In addition, the medulla contains a pneumotaxic centre, which s connected to the breathing centre and helps to ensure rhythmic breathing. During inspiration, the inspiratory part of the respiratory centre sends impulses to the pneumotaxic centre, which responds by sending impulses to the expiratory part of the respiratory centre. The expiratory centre is then activated and so the inspiratory centre is inhibited reflexly. Thus the respiratory rhythm is controlled by these centres in the brain.

  • The medulla oblongata in the brain has a respiratory center that regulates breathing (inhalation and exhalation).
  • Breathing is regulated by this device. An inspiratory and expiratory center make up the respiratory center.
  • The intercostal nerves and the phrenic nerves carry axons from these centers' nerve cells to the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm.
  • The external and internal intercostal muscles get impulses from these nerve fibers in an alternating pattern.
  • Changes in the tension of the alveolar walls activate sensory endings.
  • When the alveoli extend during the peak of inspiration, receptors in the alveoli convey inputs to the medulla's expiratory center through the vagus nerve, inhibiting further inspiration.
  • Herring-Bruer reflex describes this series of events.
  • A pneumotaxic center, which is related to the breathing center and serves to guarantee regular breathing, is also found in the medulla.
  • The inspiratory section of the respiratory center transmits impulses to the pneumotaxic center during inspiration, and the pneumotaxic center reacts by sending impulses to the expiratory part of the respiratory center.
  • As a result of the activation of the expiratory center, the inspiratory center is reflexively suppressed.
  • As a result, these brain areas are in charge of controlling breathing rhythm.
