AB Breathing  is  a  rhythmic  motor  act,  which  is  under  both  conscious  and  automatic  control.  This  system  maintains  numerous  controlled  variables  within  their  homeostatic  ranges,  but  is  also  responsible  for  rapidly  changing  ventilation  in  response  to  often  unpredictable  stimuli.  We  will  discuss  the  anatomy  and  physiology  of  the  ventilatory  control  system,  then  address  integrated  responses  and  illustrative  examples  of  adaptation  and  dysfunction  in  the  setting  of  selected  disease  states.
