[Relative stability of the central mechanisms that determine the depth and frequency of respiration].
Not only an intensified respiration, but also an increase in inspiratory discharges can be caused by hypercapnia in vagotomized cats. With the deepening of anesthesia an increase of the inspiratory discharges persists, whereas an increased frequency of respiration disappears. This testifies to the presence of two different central mechanisms for the regulation of the rate and depth of respiration; the first is subject to the suprabulbar influences more than the second.
