The nervous system controls the body, analyzes external stimuli, and integrates internal and external responses to stimuli. • The neuron, comprising a cell body, dendrites and an axon, is the functional unit of the nervous system. • Dendrites route information to the nerve, and axons take the information away.

Respiratory muscles are stimulated to contract by the respiratory center in the medulla. • The medulla receives input from chemoreceptors to increase the rate and/or depth of respiration to maintain homeostasis in the body. • Drugs that affect the respiratory system work to keep the airways open and gases moving efficiently
