Hengityssäädely
Hengityssäädely is the process by which the body controls breathing. This vital function ensures that the body receives adequate oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide, maintaining the delicate balance of gases in the blood. The primary control center for breathing is located in the brainstem, specifically in the medulla oblongata and the pons. These areas receive information from various parts of the body and send signals to the respiratory muscles, primarily the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles, to initiate and regulate breathing movements.
Several factors influence breathing rate and depth. Chemoreceptors, located in the brainstem and in major arteries,
The nervous system plays a crucial role in voluntary and involuntary control of breathing. While we can
