    Study Notes

    Respiratory Center

    • Composed of several groups of neurons located in the medulla oblongata and pons
    • Divided into three major collections of neurons:
      • Dorsal respiratory group (inspiration)
      • Ventral respiratory group (expiration)
      • Pneumotaxic center (rate and depth of breathing)

    Dorsal Respiratory Group of Neurons

    • Located in the dorsal portion of the medulla
    • Mainly responsible for inspiration
    • Generates the basic rhythm of respiration
    • Contains neurons in the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS), which receives sensory signals from:
      • Peripheral chemoreceptors
      • Baroreceptors
      • Receptors in the liver, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract
      • Receptors in the lungs

    Ventral Respiratory Group of Neurons

    • Located in the ventrolateral part of the medulla
    • Mainly responsible for expiration
    • Remains almost totally inactive during normal quiet respiration
    • Plays a role in powerful expiratory signals during heavy breathing

    Inspiratory “Ramp” Signal

    • Transmitted to inspiratory muscles (mainly the diaphragm)
    • Starts weakly and increases steadily in a ramp manner for about 2 seconds
    • Ceases abruptly for approximately 3 seconds, allowing elastic recoil of the lungs and chest wall to cause expiration
    • The rate of increase of the ramp signal is controlled, allowing for rapid filling of the lungs during heavy respiration
    • The limiting point at which the ramp ceases is controlled, regulating the rate of respiration

    Control of Overall Respiratory Center Activity

    • The intensity of respiratory control signals is increased or decreased to match the ventilatory needs of the body
    • During heavy exercise, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels increase, requiring increased pulmonary ventilation
    • The Hering-Breuer reflex in the lungs may help prevent overinflation

    Voluntary Control of Respiration

    • Respiration can be voluntarily controlled for short periods
    • Hyperventilation or hypoventilation can lead to serious changes in blood gas levels
    • The world record for holding breath is over 11 minutes
    • Apnea competitors can suppress respiratory urges to the point of low oxygen saturation

    Respiration Control

    • The primary goal of respiration is to maintain optimal levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ions in the body's tissues.
    • The respiratory process is extremely sensitive to changes in these substances.
    • Excess carbon dioxide or hydrogen ions in the blood directly stimulate the respiratory center in the brain, leading to increased strength of both inspiratory and expiratory signals to the respiratory muscles.
    • Oxygen, on the other hand, primarily influences respiration indirectly through peripheral chemoreceptors located in the carotid and aortic bodies.

    Chemosensitive Area

    • The chemosensitive area in the medulla oblongata is crucial for controlling respiration in response to changes in carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions.
    • This area is highly sensitive to changes in these substances and triggers increased ventilation to restore balance.
    • Carbon dioxide reacts with water in the blood to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.
    • Both carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions directly stimulate the chemosensitive area, leading to increased respiration.

    Peripheral Chemoreceptors

    • Peripheral chemoreceptors, located in the carotid and aortic bodies, are primarily responsible for detecting changes in blood oxygen levels.
    • These receptors are highly sensitive to decreases in oxygen levels and send signals to the respiratory center, increasing ventilation.
    • These receptors are also moderately sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions.

    Response to Low Oxygen Levels

    • When blood oxygen levels decrease significantly, the peripheral chemoreceptors become activated, triggering an increase in ventilation.
    • This increase in ventilation helps to deliver more oxygen to the lungs and ultimately increase blood oxygen levels.
    • The body's response to low oxygen levels is a crucial protective mechanism to prevent hypoxia.

    Respiratory Control During Exercise

    • During exercise, the body's oxygen demand increases significantly.
    • The respiratory center in the brain anticipates this increased demand and increases ventilation even before there is a significant drop in blood oxygen levels
    • This anticipatory response is believed to be partly a learned response.
    • The increased ventilation during exercise helps to replenish oxygen stores in the muscles and tissues.

    J Receptors

    • J receptors are sensory nerve endings located in the alveolar walls adjacent to the pulmonary capillaries.
    • These receptors are primarily stimulated by pulmonary capillary engorgement or pulmonary edema.
    • While the exact function of J receptors is not fully understood, their activation may contribute to the sensation of shortness of breath (dyspnea).

    Brain Edema and Respiratory Depression

    • Brain edema, or swelling of the brain, can compress the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata.
    • This compression can significantly impair or even completely stop respiration.
    • Brain edema-induced respiratory depression can sometimes be temporarily relieved by intravenous administration of hypertonic solutions that reduce brain swelling.

    Anesthetic and Narcotic Overdose

    • Overdoses of anesthetics and narcotics can significantly depress the respiratory center in the brain.
    • This depression can lead to decreased ventilation and potentially life-threatening respiratory failure.
    • In cases of anesthetic or narcotic overdose, respiratory stimulation medications can be used to help restore breathing, along with other supportive measures.

    Sleep Apnea

    • Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep.
    • Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway becomes blocked during sleep.
    • Central sleep apnea occurs due to a dysfunction in the respiratory center in the brain.
    • In obstructive sleep apnea, the muscles in the pharynx relax during sleep, causing the airway to collapse.
    • Central sleep apnea is caused by a lack of signals from the brain to the respiratory muscles, resulting in pauses in breathing.
    • Sleep apnea can lead to a range of health problems including daytime sleepiness, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive dysfunction.

    Ventral Respiratory Group of Neurons

    • Located in the medulla, anterior and lateral to the dorsal respiratory group.
    • Primarily inactive during normal quiet respiration.
    • Responsible for both inspiration and expiration.
    • Normal quiet breathing is driven by inspiratory signals from the dorsal respiratory group.
    • Expiration is caused by elastic recoil of the lungs and thoracic cage.

    Hering-Breuer Reflex

    • A protective mechanism against excessive lung inflation.
    • Activated by stretch receptors in the lungs.
    • Decreases tidal volume by inhibiting the inspiratory neurons.
    • Activated when tidal volume exceeds 3 times the normal (approx. 1.5 L/breath).

    Control of Overall Respiratory Center Activity

    • Increased activity of respiratory control signals is necessary to meet the body's ventilatory needs during exercise.
    • Increased oxygen usage and carbon dioxide formation during exercise require greater pulmonary ventilation.

    Oxygen Sensing and Peripheral Chemoreceptors

    • Located in carotid bodies and aortic bodies.
    • Glomus cells act as chemoreceptors, sensitive to oxygen levels.
    • Decreases in blood oxygen levels lead to inactivation of potassium channels in glomus cells.
    • Depolarization of glomus cells opens calcium channels, increasing intracellular calcium.
    • Calcium stimulates neurotransmitter release, which activates afferent neurons.
    • Afferent neurons transmit signals to the central nervous system, stimulating respiration.

    Effects of Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen Ions

    • Central chemoreceptors are more sensitive to CO2 and H+ than peripheral chemoreceptors.
    • Central chemoreceptors are located in the medulla, and respond to changes in cerebrospinal fluid concentration.
    • Central chemoreceptors are important for long-term control of ventilation.
    • Peripheral chemoreceptors respond more rapidly, and may be important during the rapid onset of exercise.

    Cheyne-Stokes Breathing

    • A cyclical pattern of breathing, characterized by periods of hyperventilation followed by apnea.
    • Caused by a delay in the respiratory center's response to changes in blood gas levels.
    • Occurs when blood and respiratory center control areas cannot maintain steady CO2 and O2 levels.

    Sleep Apnea

    • Characterized by periods of apnea during sleep.
    • Caused by a temporary blockage of the airway during sleep.
    • Leads to significant decreases in oxygen levels and increases in carbon dioxide levels.
    • These changes stimulate respiration, leading to labored breathing and snoring after apnea periods.

    Respiratory Group Control

    • Dorsal Respiratory Group: Generates the basic respiratory rhythm, primarily responsible for inspiration.
    • Ventral Respiratory Group: Does not directly participate in the basic rhythm but plays a role in both inspiration and expiration, especially during forceful exhalation.
    • Pneumotaxic Center: Located in the pons, it inhibits the inspiratory drive, leading to shorter inspirations and increased respiratory frequency.
    • Apneustic Center: In the pons, this center promotes inspiration and prolongs it, potentially contributing to the apneustic breathing pattern when stimulated.

    Chemosensitive Area

    • Located in the medulla oblongata, this area is crucial for regulating respiration based on changes in blood CO2 and H+ concentration.
    • Increased CO2: Directly stimulates the chemosensitive neurons, leading to an increase in the respiratory rate and depth.
    • Indirect Effect of CO2: CO2 indirectly increases the H+ concentration in the blood, further exciting the chemosensitive neurons.
    • H+ Influence: Although H+ concentration shifts can affect the chemosensitive area, their effect is less potent than that of CO2.

    Peripheral Chemoreceptors

    • Carotid Bodies: Located at the bifurcation of the carotid arteries, these chemoreceptors are highly sensitive to changes in blood oxygen tension, particularly low PO2.
    • Aortic Bodies: Situated along the aortic arch, these chemoreceptors have a similar function to the carotid bodies. They also sense blood oxygen levels.
    • Glomus Cells: Specialized cells within the carotid bodies that trigger the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and acetylcholine when sensing low oxygen levels.
    • Blood Flow to Chemoreceptors: Blood flow through these bodies is significantly high, ensuring that the chemoreceptors are constantly exposed to changes in blood composition.

    Hypoxic Drive

    • Low PO2: Decreases in blood oxygen levels (hypoxia) stimulate the peripheral chemoreceptors, leading to an increase in ventilation.
    • Hypoxic Drive: This increase in ventilation due to low blood oxygen is referred to as the 'hypoxic drive.'
    • Adaptation: Over time, the chemoreceptors adapt to chronic hypoxia, decreasing their sensitivity to changes in blood oxygen.

    Respiratory Control Mechanisms

    • Chemoreceptors: Both the central chemoreceptors and peripheral chemoreceptors contribute to regulating respiration.
    • Integration: The control of respiration is a complex integration of both central and peripheral chemoreceptor responses.
    • Other Factors: Other factors influencing ventilation include lung stretch receptors, proprioceptors, and higher brain centers.
