The ventral respiratory group (VRG) is active only during forced breathing. True or False?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the statement about the ventral respiratory group (VRG) being active only during forced breathing is true or false. This relates to the physiological functions of the VRG in respiratory control.
Answer
True
The statement is true.
Answer for screen readers
The statement is true.
More Information
The ventral respiratory group (VRG) is active only during forced breathing, such as during exercise or stress, when accessory breathing muscles are engaged. It is inactive during quiet breathing.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume that the VRG is active at all times, when in fact it is specific for forceful breathing activities.
