A process carried out by the nervous system that is required for the proper control of respiratory gaseous exchange. This process occurs in the respiratory center of the brain in vertebrates. [GOC:dph, GOC:tb, PMID:12458206]
The nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating respiratory gaseous exchange, ensuring the efficient delivery of oxygen to tissues and removal of carbon dioxide. This intricate process involves a complex interplay of neural structures, neurotransmitters, and feedback mechanisms.
**Respiratory Control Centers:** The medulla oblongata and pons in the brainstem house specialized respiratory control centers that govern breathing rate and depth. These centers receive input from various sources, including chemoreceptors sensitive to blood oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, as well as mechanoreceptors in the lungs that monitor lung inflation.
**Chemoreceptors:** Peripheral chemoreceptors located in the carotid and aortic bodies detect changes in blood O2 and CO2 levels. A decrease in O2 or an increase in CO2 stimulates these receptors, sending signals to the respiratory control centers to increase ventilation. Central chemoreceptors located in the medulla oblongata are primarily sensitive to changes in CO2 and hydrogen ion (H+) concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid. Increased CO2 levels lead to increased H+ concentration, stimulating these receptors and promoting ventilation.
**Mechanoreceptors:** Stretch receptors in the lungs, known as pulmonary stretch receptors, detect lung inflation. As the lungs expand during inspiration, these receptors send signals to the respiratory control centers, inhibiting further inspiration and promoting expiration. This mechanism, known as the Hering-Breuer reflex, prevents overinflation of the lungs.
**Neurotransmitters:** The nervous system employs various neurotransmitters to regulate breathing. Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter released by the phrenic nerve, stimulates the diaphragm to contract, causing inspiration. Other neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and serotonin, also contribute to the regulation of breathing.
**Feedback Mechanisms:** Respiratory regulation relies on intricate feedback mechanisms that ensure oxygen levels remain within a narrow range. When blood oxygen levels drop, chemoreceptors activate, increasing ventilation to deliver more oxygen. Conversely, when CO2 levels rise, chemoreceptors stimulate increased ventilation to expel excess CO2. These feedback loops maintain a delicate balance between oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal.
In addition to these primary mechanisms, other factors influence respiratory regulation, including emotional states, physical activity, and environmental conditions. The nervous system's ability to adapt and respond to these diverse influences ensures the body's ability to maintain efficient oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal, crucial for maintaining life.'

It is a prodrug for the corresponding sulfide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, used particularly in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. Sulindac: A sulfinylindene derivative prodrug whose sulfinyl moiety is converted in vivo to an active NSAID analgesic. Specifically, the prodrug is converted by liver enzymes to a sulfide which is excreted in the bile and then reabsorbed from the intestine. This helps to maintain constant blood levels with reduced gastrointestinal side effects. | monocarboxylic acid; organofluorine compound; sulfoxide | analgesic; antineoplastic agent; antipyretic; apoptosis inducer; EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitor; non-narcotic analgesic; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; prodrug; tocolytic agent |
| digoxin | digoxin : A cardenolide glycoside that is digitoxin beta-hydroxylated at C-12. A cardiac glycoside extracted from the foxglove plant, Digitalis lanata, it is used to control ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation, but the margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small. Digoxin: A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.

A specific opioid antagonist, it is used (commonly as its hydrochloride salt) to reverse the effects of opioids, both following their use of opioids during surgery and in cases of known or suspected opioid overdose. Naloxone: A specific opiate antagonist that has no agonist activity. It is a competitive antagonist at mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors. | morphinane alkaloid; organic heteropentacyclic compound; tertiary alcohol | antidote to opioid poisoning; central nervous system depressant; mu-opioid receptor antagonist |
