Which of the following issues output to the VRG to adjust the respiratory rhythm?

B)PRG
C)NRG
D)SRG

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DRG (dorsal respiratory group) is responsible for generating the basic rhythm of respiration and sends output to the VRG (ventral respiratory group) to adjust the respiratory rhythm. The PRG (pontine respiratory group) and NRG (nucleus retroambiguus) also play a role in respiratory control but do not directly send output to the VRG. The SRG (solitary respiratory group) is actually a part of the chemoreceptor reflex pathway and is not involved in adjusting the respiratory rhythm.
