Question

What effect does the lack of pneumotaxic and stretch receptor neurons have on ventilation?

Answer 1

Answer and explanation :

there are many problem due to lack of pneumotaxic and stetch receptor neurons on ventilation

DUE TO LACK OF PNEUMOTAXIC CENTER :

• pneumotaxic center is present in the nucleus which is used to transmit impulse to the inspiratory area which is not possible due to lack of pneumotaxic center
• it controls the duration of filling of lungs
• it also control the medullary respiratory system which is not possible due to lack of this

DUE TO LACK OF STRETCH RECEPTOR :

• The hearing breuer inflation reflex is generated by stretch receptor neuron which is not generated due to lack of stretch receptor
• when stretched these receptors send the inhibitory impulses through the vegus nerve to the DMG neuron which is not possible due to lack of this
