CO2-sensitive olfactory and pulmonary receptor modulation of episodic breathing in bullfrogs.
American Journal of Physiology 1996 January
Breathing was monitored during normocarbia, hypercarbia (6% CO2 in air), and the period immediately after the return to normocarbic conditions in intact, olfactory-denervated, and vagotomized bullfrogs. In intact frogs, ventilation increased during hypercarbia, but the breathing pattern remained episodic. Immediately upon return to air, there was a further paradoxical increase in breathing frequency, and breathing became continuous in most frogs. Results obtained from animals after olfactory receptor denervation indicate that tonic stimulation of olfactory receptors by airway CO2 inhibited breathing during hypercarbia. Measurements of the kinetics of changes in airway and arterial blood CO2 levels support the suggestion that the sudden release of this inhibition on the return to normocarbic conditions was responsible for the posthypercarbic hyperpnea. Vagotomy increased ventilation during normocarbia. Hypercarbia now caused a change in breathing pattern but had no net effect on total ventilation, suggesting that pulmonary vagal feedback inhibited ventilation during normocarbia but stimulated ventilation during hypercarbia. Although olfactory and pulmonary receptor feed-back shape the breathing pattern, they were not responsible for initiating or terminating the episodes of breathing.
