Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pontine respirator group (PRG) is the center located in the pons that plays a part in regulating breathing. It is responsible for helping to switch between inspiration and expiration during respiratory cycles. The inspiratory center and expiratory center, on the other hand, are located in the medulla oblongata. The pacemaker neuron center is not a specific respiratory center but rather a general term for neurons that exhibit spontaneous activity and help maintain rhythm in various parts of the body including the respiratory system.
