Respiration
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Respiration'The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration (= OXYGEN CONSUMPTION) or cell respiration (= CELL RESPIRATION). Common names: Respiration; Breathing |

Isoflurane-induced changes in righting response and breathing are modulated by RGS proteins.
30 Oct 2009 
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests that G protein-coupled receptors, especially those linked to G(alpha)(i), contribute to the mechanisms of anesthetic action. Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins bind to activated G(alpha)(i) and ... Read more...
Regulation of trigeminal respiratory motor activity in the brainstem.
30 Oct 2009 The trigeminal motor system participates in the control of respiration as well as suckling and mastication. However, the central mechanism underlying respiratory activity in trigeminal motoneurons is not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to ... Read more...
The effect of maxillary multidirectional movement on nasal respiration.
29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Deformities of the maxilla may exist on all planes, and we treat these problems by mobilizing and repositioning the maxilla on all planes. Some authors have examined the effects of maxillary movement on the nasal airway. In clinical, ... Read more...
