title: Neurologic disorders and respiration.
abstract: The impact of neurologic disorders on the respiratory system is considered as a functional-anatomic-pathologic sequence. Functional roles of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems in respiration are described. The effects of pathologic conditions are then discussed based on this functional-anatomic background.
