| Assertion(A) | Pneumotaxic centre can moderate the functions of the respiratory rhythm centre. |
| Reason(R) | Neural signal from pneumotaxic centre can reduce the duration of inspiration and thereby alter the respiratory centre. |
| Assertion (A) | The respiratory rhythm centre, located in the pons region of brain is responsible for regulation of respiration. |
| Reason (R) | Pneumotaxic centre, located in the medulla region of brain moderates the respiratory rhythm centre. |
