An element is a pure substance that is made from a single type of atom. Elements are the building blocks for all the rest of the matter in the world.
The pneumotaxic center, also known as the pontine respiratory group (PRG), is a network of neurons in the rostral dorsal lateral pons.It consists of the Koelliker-KÃ¶lliker fuse nucleus and the medial parabrachial. Nucleus it is considered an antagonist to the apneustic, center which produces abnormal breathing during. inhalationespiratory effects [edit]. The PRG antagonizes the apneustic center, cyclically inhibiting inhalation. The PRG limits the burst of action potentials in the phrenic nerve, effectively decreasing the tidal volume and regulating the respiratory rate.
The brainstem consists of the midbrain, medulla oblongata, and the pons. Credit: SEER Training Modules/ U. S. National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute. Brainstem: The brainstem is the region of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. It consists of the midbrain, medulla oblongata, and the pons. Motor and sensory neurons travel through the brainstem allowing for the relay of signals between the brain and the spinal cord. The brainstem coordinates motor control signals sent from the brain to the body.
