Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Recent evidence shows that inspiratory and expiratory neurons are anatomically intermingled and do not necessarily inhibit one another. No clearly separate inspiratory and expiratory centers ex-ist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves transmit many sensory impulses to the DRGs from the lungs, airways, peripheral chemoreceptors, and joint proprioceptors. These impulses modify the basic breathing pattern generated in the medulla.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
