Question

Isis respiratory a voluntary or involuntary action.justify your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The main respiratory muscles are under both voluntary and involuntary (automatic) control. These two control systems come from separate sites in the CNS and have separate descending pathways; the final integration of these outputs occurs at segmental levels in the cord.

Answer 2

Respiration is an involuntary action because we can control breathing but we can't control respiration as respiration is a continuous process.
