Short Answer Questions

5. Explain the nervous system’s control of the respiratory system.
The rhythm of ventilation is controlled by a respiratory control center located in the medulla oblongata of the brain. The respiratory control center automatically sends out a nerve signal to the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles of the rib cage. This causes inspiration to occur. When the respiratory center stops sending nerve signals to the diaphragm and the rib cage, the muscles relax and expiration occurs.
