This review highlights that the breakpoint of breath-holding is a complex phenomenon not solely driven by blood gases or lung shrinkage, but involves continuous central respiratory rhythm and potential feedback from diaphragm chemoreceptors.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Breath-hold breakpoint mechanisms require re-evaluation; leaves open diaphragm chemoreceptor contributions to respiratory control.
Michael J. Parkes (2005) studied this question.
