Respiratory control:
inhibits inspiration and stimulates expiration
What is the cause of hiccoughs?
Caused by a spasm of the diaphragm and a spasmodic closure of the glottis.
Hyperpnea
Increase in the depth and rate of breathing accompanied by abnormal exaggeration of respiratory movements
Pressure in the pleural space
Less than atmospheric pressure

Muscle between the ribs that contract during inhalation
Breathing:
Ventilation
When air travels through the nose it is filtered and: A. Warmed and moistened B. Warmed and exchanged for carbon dioxide C. Cooled and exchanged for carbon dioxide D. cooled and moistened
A. Warmed and moistened
Tachypnea
Abnormal rapid shallow breathing
Difficult or labored breathing is known as: A. Eupnea B. Dyspnea C. Orthopnea D. Hyperpnea
B. Dyspnea
Hyperventilation
Condition that can be caused by disease or stress
