AP 2 Unit 3 Exam

Name the two parts of the brainstem (not specific groups of neurons) important for autonomic control of respiration Medulla and Pons Describe any two of the parts of the brain or sensory receptors that send input into these parts of the brainstem, and what kinds of information they carry (i.e. situations where they would be active) 1. Peripheral chemoreceptors detect blood pH, O2, CO2 (carotid body, aortic bodies) 2. Central chemoreceptors sensory receptor in the brain that monitors cerebrospinal fluid 3. Cortex, hypothalamus Name the muscles that act as effectors in the autonomic neural control of respiration. External intercostal muscles and diaphragm (quiet respiration) Which part of the brain does voluntary control of respiration involve (and how does this compare to autonomic control)?When does voluntary control override autonomic c
