The respiratory centers found in the brainstem include the medullary respiratory center and the pontine respiratory center. The medullary respiratory center is further divided into the dorsal respiratory group (DRG) and the ventral respiratory group (VRG). The DRG is responsible for the basic rhythm of breathing, while the VRG is involved in regulating the depth and rate of breathing. The pontine respiratory center helps to coordinate the transition between inhalation and exhalation.
