Atmungszentrum
The Atmungszentrum, or respiratory center, is a collection of nerve centers in the brainstem of mammals that controls breathing. It is located in the medulla oblongata and the pons. The respiratory center receives sensory information from various parts of the body, including chemoreceptors that detect levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, and mechanoreceptors that sense lung stretch. Based on this information, it sends motor signals to the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles to regulate the rate and depth of breathing.
The respiratory center is divided into several components, each with specific roles. The dorsal respiratory group,
The nervous control of breathing is essential for maintaining homeostasis, ensuring adequate oxygen supply to the
