NEETZoologyBreathing and Exchange of Gases
Centre Function A. Medullary Rhythmicity Area 1. Prolongs inhalation B. Pneumotaxic Center 2. Detect changes in blood pH and CO2 levels C. Apneustic Center 3. Controls the basic rhythm of respiration D. Chemoreceptors 4. Regulates the rate and pattern of breathing
Options
- AA-3;B-4;C-1;D-2
- BA-4;B-3;C-1;D-2
- CA-3;B-1;C-4;D-2
- DA-3;B-4;C-2;D-1
Correct answer
A. A-3;B-4;C-1;D-2
Step-by-step solution
The medullary rhythmicity area controls the basic rhythm of respiration. The pneumotaxic center regulates the rate and pattern of breathing. The apneustic center prolongs inhalation. Chemoreceptors detect changes in blood pH and CO2 levels.
