Summary Introduction

To explain:

The autonomic respiratory rhythms and the effecting organs of the nervous system. Highlight the role of the effector organs that facilitate ventilation in the lungs.

Introduction:

Respiratory rhythms are involuntary in action. The rhythms make sure the continuous exchange of gases in the body alongside the oxidation of glucose or food. Autonomous refers to the processes which occur on their own and are not consciously controlled.

Neural output from the brain stem regulated breathing including respiratory rate and depth. In a patient with damage to the medulla oblongata and subsequently to the phrenic nerve, which of the following would be true? a. the diaphragm may not be able to contract, resulting in respiratory arrest b. the respiratory rate and depth would increase as signals from the pons would increase c. the diaphragm will begin to contract on its own via autorhythmic cells
Some competitive swimmers hyperventilate before a race, thinking they can "load up on extra oxygen" and hold their breaths longer underwater. While they can indeed hold their breaths longer, it is not for the reason they think. Furthermore, some have lost consciousness and drowned because of this practice. What is wrong with this thinking, and what accounts for the loss of consciousness?
Callisto has managed to escape Xena, and therefore Xena decides to rest for the night in a small but deep cave at a high altitude in the mountains. Describe the changes in Xena’s intrathoracic and intrapleural volume and pressure during quiet inspiration. Explain how these changes occur and describe their effect upon airflow. Explain how the rate of gas exchange between Xena’s alveolar air and blood changes when she moves to high altitude and describe one possible compensatory change that occurs in her body as the consequence.
