Abstract
Based on a recent review by Krohn et al, the respiratory center and its regulatory mechanisms are described. Although the respiratory control centers in the medulla and pons ensure rhythmic respiration, maintaining and regulating respiration involves a complex network of peripheral chemoreceptors, vagal nerves, and central chemoreceptors. This review discusses the pathophysiology of respiratory disorders in neuromuscular diseases and evaluation and treatment methods based on the anatomy of the respiratory network.
