Chemoreceptor Regulation of Breathing
Respiratory feedback
The chemoreceptors are the sensors for blood pH, the medulla and pons form the integrating center, and the respiratory muscles are the effector.
This is a diagram of how the brain translates signals from chemoreceptors, which are the sensors for blood pH, to the medulla and pons, which integrate the information to activate the respiratory muscles.
