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 human nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS, in turn, is divided into the brain and the spinal cord, which lie in the cranial cavity of the skull and the vertebral canal, respectively.The CNS and the PNS, acting in concert, integrate sensory information and control motor and cognitive functions.he spinal cord is an essential link between the peripheral nervous system and the brain; it conveys sensory information originating from different external and internal sites via 31 pairs of spinal nerves (Figure 1.5).
