Q. Human beings have a significant ability to maintain and moderate the respiratory rhythm to suit the demands of the body. If :
Respiratory rhythm centre in medulla - R
Pneumotaxic centre in pons - PT
Chemosensitive area in medulla - C1
Peripheral chemoreceptors in aortic arch and carotid artery - C2

Find out the correct path for regulation of respiration.

Basic respiratory rhythm centre is generated by

1.dorsal respiratory group of neurons

2.ventral respiratory group of neurons

Q. Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option.
Human beings have a significant ability to maintain and moderate the respiratory rhythm, to suit the demands of the body tissues. This is done by the neural system. A specialised centre present in the medulla region of the brain called ___(i)___ is primarily responsible for this regulation. Another centre present in the pons region of the brain called ___(ii)___ can moderate the functions of the respiratory rhythm centre. Neural signal from this centre can reduce the duration of ___(iii)___ and thereby alter the respiratory rate. A __(iv)__ is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to

C O_{2}

and hydrogen ions.

Q. Assertion :The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is quite insignificant. Reason: Increased P

C O_{2}

and H+ concentration inputs from chemoreceptors can activate respiratory rhythm centre to make necessary adjustments.

Q. Respiratory rhythm centre is located in the
