great big picture. wish you spoke about the DRG/VRG and apneustic/pneumotaxic though since thats what i wanted to know for med school step 1 studying

[@navkiran1000]

hereiswherethereisnt Agreed. That's what I was hoping to learn about too.

[@khanacademymedicine]

Stay tuned for the answer. I'll get to this in my upcoming video. =)

[@janina248]

You are so good at explaining complex body systems simply well done thank you

[@MultiSamsoma]

please do a video about dorsal and ventral respiratory groups ! thanks

[@jenniferforsyth20]

fantastic!

[@pawesome1458]

I thought you'd also talk about apneustic/pneumotaxic centres. But never mind, I really enjoyed the video! Thanks. x

Hi! I am currently studying for National Boards for Chiropractic. I happened to click on your video to further understand the respiratory center. First, I want to say this is an amazing explanation. Thank You! More importantly as you speak of all the nerve innervations as well as sensory information such as anxiety, fear etc. I immediately began to see why being adjusted is so necessary as I already know. You speak of three levels of the spine. Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar and their correlation with nerve innervation to these respiratory conductors. If, one is subluxated than we know that the mechanoreceptors are not firing and instead the nociceptors are firing. Sending messages to the brain for pain which is considering damaging stimuli. When one is adjusted at these levels (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar) which are not only responsible for respiration but for many other systems of the body. Then, we stimulate the mechanoreceptors to the brain and shut down the nociceptors.
Therefore, having a profound affect on respiration which in turn will have a profound affect on the rest of the body.
I continue to become fascinated by the innate intelligence of our bodies. Thank You!

Yikes. If your College was teaching you about subluxations in other than a historical context I would worry about the quality of your education. Subluxations don't exist. They have been proposed for over a 100 years but there has never been any objective science that shows that they are real. The majority of the (non-US) Chiropractic profession has distanced itself from the term. See: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29988608 who state (in regards to subluxations) "Unscientific terms and concepts should have no place in modern education, except perhaps in historical context. Unless these outdated concepts are rejected, the chiropractic profession and individual chiropractors will likely continue to face difficulties integrating with established health care systems and attaining cultural authority as experts in conservative neuro-musculoskeletal health care."

[@lokhtar]

None of this make any sense. The mechanoreceptors are not firing and nociceptors are firing? What are you even talking about. This is gibblygook.

[@bebushkaries]

bad ass! you guys are the best thing that has happened to youtube and my grad school education :-) ! love it! keep em comin'!

[@bronoadi]

Can you explain about how we do passive and active breathing related with this system? how about respiratory complex dorsal and ventral in controling the ventilation? sorry for my bad english. thanks and god blesses you.

[@NLaw-uo5uk]

Thank you..but having hard time finding how medulla oblongata and pons role in breathing...neural control breathing and how it works. All your videos are great though. Thank you again

[@drbesho1]

Is there any chance that you would share the whole diagram as a photo just to look back at it for reminding

[@smokythebear9711]

beshoi bortam pause and take a screenshot to save in your notes

[@GoodKnight5252]

BTW my physiology book says the Central Chemoreceptors AKA Medullary Chemoreceptors don't recognize pH only CO2 (Silverthorn Human physiology 8th edition)
Also I wish you talked about the NTS, VRG and DRG :(

[@wei-hsianghuang1914]

you are an excellent instructor.

[@anastasiaaa4094]

Amazing i wish i saw this earlier

[@virupannamedikinal]

Thank you so much Sir

[@reemalmotwa8700]

This helped me a lot to understand the big pictures all other videos didn’t focus on neurones thank u

[@m0e76]

you are truly gifted amazing work like always !!

[@Dan-tu1fl]

Good video but didn't really go into the respiratory centers at all

[@1Itsyasr]

Great

[@TehHedge]

Why does information from the GI tract go to the respiratory centre? How does stomach distension relate to respiration?

[@AMWE-gh7ti]

Mechanoreceptors are not irritant receptors 💁‍♂️

[@BhumiTiwariJB]

thank you! that was really helpful. :)

[@benoramhovachev9069]

Thank you for your video, it really helped 😊

[@Lungs523]

thank you for the easy explanations!!

[@hraqhraq]

Not detailed enough

[@payalgupta9587]

awesome seriously (y) thanks a lot...:)

[@MarttyLovato]

thanks! you helped me a lot :)

[@halimaibrahimalfadarai4121]

I love this sooooooooo much, Thank you very much

[@onlymyrailgun61]

Really impressive!!!😍😍😍

[@trevabugg5369]

great video! thank you so much

[@jormagche]

Great presentation!

[@TheManOfRash]

it's rishi not sal man!

[@gay.dinosaur9559]

CAN YOU PLEASE DO ONE FOR THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM!!!

[@vwziful]

is the aortic body and the carotid body outside the blood vessel as as ON the aortic arch and On the carotid artery? as compared to the baroreceptors which are inside

[@teeen3486]

Zain hi did you get the answer?

[@vinhphupham6624]

Thank you so much, you helped me too much.

[@Irresistible1991F]

Great. Thank you so much.

[@FlightForce77]

How does pain, emotions, and temperature affect ventilatory control?

[@dragosmolnar3007]

Jose Vieira hipotalamus and the limbic system does that

[@abbasseven9563]

you got new subscriber

[@jf0629]

love these videos! very good!!!!!!!

[@momoh80]

thxs u're so good ...

[@yashivaji]

Great
