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.
Alternative Title: brain stem Brainstem, area at the base of the brain that lies between the deep structures of the cerebral hemispheres and the cervical spinal cord. The brainstem is divided into three sections in humans: the midbrain (mesencephalon), the pons (metencephalon), and the medulla oblongata (myelencephalon). The brainstem is a sort of automatic control centre for several important involuntary actions of the body, such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and many reflexes.
