Abstract

Breathing is a voluntary somatic motor behavior. Brain stem circuits generate a respiratory rhythm and dynamically adapt the pattern of activity on respiratory pump and airway muscles to meet the wide range of metabolic demands experienced by an individual vertebrate animal. This article describes the neuronal elements and brain stem compartments that make up the respiratory control system in the rhombencephalon (hind brain) in mammals. It also surveys respiratory reflexes and their associated brain stem circuitry that provide for the dynamic regulation of normal breathing and for the protective reflexes that preserve airway integrity.
