Respiratory drive
• A „simple” question: if metabolism in the body
produces CO2 (has to be removed) and
needs O2 (has to be supplied)
which one is more important in driving respiration?
– What experiment would you design?
5
A simple view
Chemoreceptors,
mechanoreceptors
-prolonged inspiration
-turns off inspiration
Cerebral cortex
(voluntary hyperventilation
and hypoventilation)

Respiratory centers in the brainstem
Central pattern generation(pre-Bötzinger)
Dorsal respiratory group (I)
Ventral respiratory group (I & E)
Chemoreceptors in arteries
& lung mechanoceptors
Pontine Respiratory Group :
Parabrachial nucleus & Kölliger- Fuse
(modulates, inhibits)

Respiratory rhytm
Neurogenic rhytm
Inspiration Expiration
Lung volume
Phrenic nerve (inspiratory)
Diaphragm constriction
Intercostal nerve (expiratory)
3 phases
I= inspiratory phase
PI= postinspiratory phase
E2= expiratory phase

Carotid body chemoreceptor responses
PaO2 and PaCO2 have synergistic effect
pHa and PaCO2 effects
on carotid body receptors
pH acts only on the carotid body receptors!!
15
Test: re-breathing method
Effects originate from the
central receptors
Ventilatory responses to PACO2
(hypercapnic respiratory response)

9
CO2 narcose (CO2 in the air)
CO2 content in atmospheric air is very low (0.04%)
1% --> inreased respiratory rate
5% --> dyspnea
10% --> restlessness, dyzziness, headache
15% --> consciousness lost
20-30% --> CO2 narcose
cellar accidents at harvest time
17
Ventilatory responses to pHa
Only the
carotid bodies
react!(Kussmaul type)

Ventilatory response to PaO2
(hypoxic ventilatory response)
non-linear response

Adaptation to CO2
• Long term increases in arterial PaCO2
• Sleeping pill poisoning
