(d) CNS


answer correct and fast please ​

Answer 1

Option d is correct

CNS

Explanation :

• Breathing is a natural, rhythmic process that is controlled by neural networks in the hindbrain (the pons and medulla).
• The brain networks control the muscles that construct the thoracic and abdominal walls, as well as the pressure gradients that allow air to enter and exit the lungs.
• Reciprocal stimulatory and inhibitory connectivity of these brain-stem neurons determines the respiratory rhythm and duration of each phase of breathing.
