  Involuntary control of respiration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The body's involuntary control of respiration is mediated by the brain's respiratory center located in the brainstem, particularly in the medulla oblongata and pons.
In addition to involuntary control of respiration by the respiratory center, respiration can be affected by conditions such as emotional state, via input from the limbic system, or temperature, via the hypothalamus.
Voluntary control of respiration is provided via the cerebral cortex, although chemoreceptor reflex is capable of overriding conscious control.

 Respiratory system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The bronchiols lead to the respiratory zone of the lungs which consists of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and the alveoli, the multi-lobulated sacs in which most of the gas exchange occurs.
Respiration consists of a mechanical cycle of inspiration and expiration, with gaseous exchange occurring in between.
The small depth of diffusion respiration sufficient to support the metabolism of an average human cell is less than a millimetre (0.04 in).

respiration marked by a pause between the sounds of inhalation and those of exhalation.
respiration in which all or part of a lung is deflated during inhalation and inflated during exhalation, as with flail chest or paralysis of the diaphragm.
The two major components of CPR are artificial respiration and closed chest cardiac massage; see Plate 44.

This is why they are effective whenever and wherever social control is at a premium, such as in mental hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, institutions for persons with developmental disabilities, children's facilities and public clinics, as well as in Russian and Cuban psychiatric political prisons.
Their widespread use for social control in such a wide variety of people and institutions makes the claim that they are specific for schizophrenia ridiculous.
Controlled studies by Karon and Vandenbos (1981) indicate that even in traditional psychiatric facilities psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for patients labelled as schizophrenic.

It was observed that by practicing any one of these techniques for twenty to thirty minutes, pulse rate, blood pressure and respirations per minute were reduced, skin resistance was increased (indicating a peaceful state of mind), and the brain activity in terms of frequency and amplitude of the brain waves was considerably silenced.
Since the chief aim of respiration is to supply enough quantities of oxygen in the alveolar air for diffusion into the blood in the lung capillaries, any technique that promotes this must be considered very good for health.
In pranayama these muscles are regulated in their activity with far greater control and the force of contraction on them is sustained for a fairly long time.

In addition, this low-level controller interacts with the afferent feedback from the peripheral receptors and in turn is controlled by descending signals from the high-level controller (supraspinal centers), which also receives peripheral feedback.
Neural control of respiration is an excellent model object for such studies because the respiratory CPG (CRPG) has been more extensively studied at the neuronal and network levels than other CPG types in mammals (e.g.
Interestingly, the exact effect of the control signal was dependent on the phase in which the signal was applied.

Respiration may be divided into three general categories-namely, the ventilation phase, the transport phase, and the utilization phase.
The utilization phase of respiration involves the exchange of gases between the cells of the body and the blood in the tissue capillaries, and the utilization of oxygen in metabolic processes.
The periodic and rhythmic characteristics of respiration are maintained by means of relatively well-defined nervous pathways between the lungs and respiratory muscles and the brain.

 Re: respiratory system
The human respiratory system is considered involuntary because the respiratory center, located in the brain stem, "drives" or regulates respiration without any conscious effort on behalf of the individual.
Respiratory innervation is considered part of the autonomic or involuntary nervous system, with an interesting "overlay" by the voluntary nervous system that allows conscious control.
The autonomic control of respiration is monitored by: 1) chemoreceptors (central and peripheral) and 2) lung receptors.

The somatic nervous system is responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscle and for the collection of sensory information from the body.
Motor fibres from the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of this system control involuntary striated muscle such as that in the heart, and involuntary smooth muscle such as that in the respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, renal and reproductive systems.
This can range from a few parasympathetic fibres which supply an involuntary striated muscle such as those that travel in the oculomotor nerve to supply the ciliaris muscle, to the majority of fibres in a cranial nerve such as the vagus (CX).

Whether in fact he had control of this kind or whether he had the illusion of control is unimportant because the subjective feeling helped to maintain his mastery of the situation throughout several months of intensive interrogation.
This extreme loss of control is handled in a variety of ways, one of which is a regression to a childlike state of dependence on and identification with the aggressor.
