Role Of The Vestibular System In Regulating Respiratory Muscle Activity During Movement

Yates, BJ, Billig, I, Cotter, LA, Mori, RL, Card, JP·2002·Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology

Abstract

1. Changes in posture can affect the resting length of the diaphragm, which is corrected through increases in both diaphragm and abdominal muscle activity. Furthermore, postural alterations can diminish airway patency, which must be compensated for through increases in firing of particular upper airway muscles. 2. Recent evidence has shown that the vestibular system participates in adjusting the activity of both upper airway muscles and respiratory pump muscles during movement and changes in body position. 3. Vestibulo-respiratory responses do not appear to be mediated through the brainstem respiratory groups; labyrinthine influences on respiratory pump muscles may be relayed through neurons in the medial medullary reticular formation, which have recently been demonstrated to provide inputs to both abdominal and diaphragm motoneurons. 4. Three regions of the cerebellum that receive vestibular inputs, the fastigial nucleus, the nodulus/uvula and the anterior lobe, also influence respiratory muscle activity, although the physiological role of cerebellar regulation of respiratory activity is yet to be determined. 5. It is practical for the vestibular system to participate in the control of respiration, to provide for rapid adjustments in ventilation such that the oxygen demands of the body are continually matched during movement and exercise.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • During shifts from supine to upright body orientation, diaphragm length changes; change in vestibular activity produces increases in diaphragm and abdominal muscle activity, which aid venous return.

    “During shifts from supine to upright body orientation, the “length” of the diaphragm changes. The change in vestibular activity associated with going from a supine to erect orientation produces increases in diaphragm and abdominal muscle activity, which aid venous return.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
