Learning Outcomes – Control & Regulation of Breathing

00:01 Well, we’ve covered a lot of important topics.

00:02 Let’s review them very briefly.

00:05 Here, we’ve been able to identify the afferent inputs to the pulmonary system and the respiratory centers of the brain.

00:15 We were also be able to explain the mechanism whereby central, which respond to hydrogen ions via what? Carbon dioxide to peripheral chemoreceptors which respond to carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions and oxygen, and how this affects with different blood gasses.

00:34 We were also able to go through in good detail how a certain change in a blood gas causes a ventilatory response this allows us to predict the ventilatory response to a given change in an arterial blood gas.
