Ischemic hypoxia: systemic blockage by MI or localized by thrombus or emboli Hypoxemic hypoxia: arterial PO2 low, probable diffusion problem in lungs

Neural mechanisms Higher brain centers (cerebral cortex—voluntary control over breathing) + Other receptors (e.g., pain) and emotional stimuli acting through the hypothalamus + Respiratory centers (medulla and pons) Peripheral chemoreceptors + Stretch receptors in lungs + Central chemoreceptors Irritant receptors + Receptors in muscles and joints © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

36 Normal resp. rate 12-16 rpm Pons Medulla Pontine respiratory centers
Figure Locations of respiratory centers and their postulated connections. Pons Medulla Pontine respiratory centers interact with medullary respiratory centers to smooth the respiratory pattern. Ventral respiratory group (VRG) contains rhythm generators whose output drives respiration. Pons Medulla Dorsal respiratory group (DRG) integrates peripheral sensory input and modifies the rhythms generated by the VRG.
