Biology

The discovery of the Rhesus factor affected society by improving the success rate of blood transfusions. Prior to the Rhesus system being implemented, blood was typed according to the ABO system alone. This meant a significant number of blood transfusions failed due to immunogenic reactions to the rhesus factor leading to agglutination of blood. It also helped prenatal care as people became aware of the possibility of the mother and child being Rhesus incompatible. This condition could be combated by an injection of antibodies.

Which of the following modifies and smoothes the respiratory pattern?
stealth61 [152]

The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers

The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:

•  The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)

• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation

• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
