Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Respiration is regulated by nervous mechanism that involves respiratory center, afferent and efferent nerves. Respiratory centers are situated in the reticular formation of the brainstem and depending upon the situation in the brainstem, the respiratory system can be medullary and pontine centers.
