Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1CAQ5
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason that results in maintaining a higher than normal respiratory rate in an individual after his/her return to lower altitude.
Introduction:
Specific neural areas are located in the pons and reticular substance of the medulla oblongata. These areas regulate the intrinsic rhythmicity of respiration. These neural areas adjust ventilator patterns. There are two respiratory centers in the reticular substance of the medulla oblongata, namely the dorsal respiratory groups and the ventral respiratory groups.
