Inhibitory neurons
What leads to the relaxation of respiratory muscles during expiration?
Activation of inhibitory neurons
Which part of the brain is NOT directly involved in the stimulation of respiratory muscles?
Cerebellum
What effect do inhibitory neurons have during the respiratory process?
Cause expiration by relaxing muscles
