Question

Nerve impulses from _________ will result in inspiration.

A. the ventral respiratory group
B. the chemoreceptor center
C. Broca's center
D. the preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus

Answer 1

A. the ventral respiratory group

Step-by-step explanation:

Nerve impulses from the ventral respiratory group will result in inspiration.

The ventral respiratory group is a column of respiratory neurons divided into four subgroups.

Answer 2

the ventral respiratory group

Step-by-step explanation:

The respiratory centers are present in the brain stem. Five major respiratory group are Dorsal respiratory group, Ventral respiratory group, Pontine respiratory group, Pneumotaxic center and Apneustic center.

Ventral respiratory group controls the process of respiration. The neurons of ventral respiratory group become active during forceful breathing and may result in inspiration.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
