Q. Respiratory process is regulated by certain specialised centres in the brain. One of the following listed centres can reduce the inspiratory duration upon stimulation.

Breathing and Exchange of Gases

Solution:

The pneumotaxic center is located in the dorsal part of Pons Varolii. It is called the switch-off point of breathing since it is known to limit the duration of inspiration. This center influences the respiratory rhythm center by regulating the breathing rate.
So, the correct answer is 'Pneumotaxic centre'.
