You got it, Julio! Glad it helped! Feel free to check out the other videos (they are ordered by number) and/or share them with anyone you know taking physio! Also stay tuned for updates to the videos as I make more hand drawn versions. Have fun learning physio!
Hi prof, thank you for sharing. Since the role of DRG is controlling breathing in, is the role of ventral respiratory group (VRG) is controlling breathing out?
The DRG directly controls the muscles involved in respiration (diaphragm, intercostal muscles, etc.). Thus, DRG directly controls both breathing in and breathing out. If it sends signals/action potentials to these muscles telling them to contract, you breathe in. If it stops sending signals/action potentials and thus tells the muscles to relax, then you breathe out. This is true for typical normal breathing. (Sidenote: VRG is involved in forced breathing--when you are breathing more than you normally do or more than your normal tidal volume).
Thank you!! Fast and exactly to the point
Excelent video, thank you for the great explanation!!!
