Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DRG (dorsal respiratory group) relays information from the chemoreceptors to the VRG (ventral respiratory group) in the brainstem, which is responsible for regulating breathing. The PRG (pontine respiratory group) is also involved in breathing regulation but is not directly involved in relaying information from chemoreceptors. The apneustic center and hypothalamus are also involved in breathing regulation but are not part of the specific pathway for relaying information from chemoreceptors to the VRG.
