hingamiskeskust
Hingamiskeskust is a term commonly used in Finnish to refer to the breathing center, the neural network that regulates respiration. In clinical and physiological contexts, the breathing center denotes the brainstem structures that generate the rhythmic pattern of breathing and adjust it to metabolic needs.
Anatomy and physiology: In humans, the primary respiratory centers lie in the brainstem, especially the medulla
Regulation: The breathing center receives chemical input from central chemoreceptors that sense pH changes in the
Clinical relevance: Disruption or disease affecting the hingamiskeskust can lead to abnormal breathing patterns, such as
