Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pulmonary center is not a regulatory center for respiration. It is involved in reflexes that regulate the diameter of the airways and pulmonary blood vessels. The other three centers listed are all involved in regulating respiration. The apneustic center is located in the lower pons and can prolong inspiration. The pneumotaxic center is located in the upper pons and can limit inspiration. The respiratory rhythmicity center is located in the medulla and is responsible for generating the basic rhythm of breathing.
