Question

What is the Role of Neural Control Agents in Respiratory Care?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The diaphragm and intercostal muscles are treated as the primary respiratory muscles that are triggered by several nerve cells which are found within the pons and medulla that develop into the respiratory control center.
The nerve cells transfer signals to the primary respiratory muscles through the phrenic and intercostal nerves that trigger their contraction.
There are three major groups of nerve cells that are involved in the process of respiration such as

The ventral respiratory group regulates the expiration process
The dorsal respiratory group regulates the inspiration process
The pontine respiratory group regulates the rate as well as the pattern of breathing.
