Question
Chapter 23.5, Problem 23WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The functions of the VRG and DRG within the respiratory centers.
Concept introduction:
Autonomic nuclei present within CNS (central nervous system) controls breathing and collectively called as a respiratory center. One portion of the respiratory center is located within medulla oblongata known as a medullary respiratory center that is composed of two groups of nuclei VRG and DRG.
