Question

Which one of the following is not involved in the regulation of respiration?

• A. Pneumotaxic centre
• B. Chemo sensitive area
• C. Hypothalamus
• D. Aortic arch receptors

Hint:

Respiratory control involves brainstem centers like the \textbf{pneumotaxic centre} and \textbf{chemo sensitive areas}, not the \textbf{hypothalamus}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The regulation of respiration is primarily controlled by respiratory centers in the medulla oblongata and pons, including the pneumotaxic center and chemosensitive areas. The hypothalamus is primarily involved in functions such as temperature regulation, hunger, and emotional responses, not direct control of respiration.
