摘要
We studied the effects of altered ventilatory drives on the activity of the whole phrenic nerve and single phrenic motoneurons in dogs anesthetized with α-chloralose and paralyzed with gallamine triethiodide. Single phrenic motoneurons were classified as either late-onset or early-onset motoneurons (LOM and EOM, respectively), depending on the time of onset of their activity during inspiration. Increase in ventilatory drive was induced by altering chemical drive with changes in arterial blood gases and also by altering the vagal afferent contribution to ventilatory drive. The latter was accomplished by inducing pulmonary gas embolism (PGE) during hyperoxia. Whole phrenic nerve activity was increased by both types of increase in ventilatory drive. In both cases, changes in the firing pattern of LOMs and EOMs were responsible for the increased phrenic output. The changes in post-PGE firing pattern of the LOMs generally consisted of a shift in the time of onset to an earlier point in inspiration and an increase in the number of spikes per inspiratory cycle. Vagotomy abolished the difference between the contributions of LOMs and EOMs to the phrenic response to PGE. Data from dogs studied while they were breathing spontaneously were qualitatively the same as those from the paralyzed animals, indicating no major role for phasic volume feedback in these responses. Our data regarding altered chemical drive are similar to those reported earlier in other species, whereas those regarding PGE demonstrate that vagally mediated increases in ventilatory drive affect both LOMs and EOMs, although LOMs are affected to a greater degree. Thus the overall pattern of phrenic response to increases in ventilatory drive appears not to vary over a range of different types of stimuli.
