Breathing: Motor Control of Diaphragm Muscle

- Summary
- Subjects
- Metrics

Abstract

Breathing occurs without thought but is controlled by a complex neural network with a final output of phrenic motor neurons activating diaphragm muscle fibers (i.e., motor units). This review considers diaphragm motor unit organization and how they are controlled during breathing as well as during expulsive behaviors.
