On the development of N. A. Mislavsky's scientific legacy on the problem of breathing regulation on the basis of clinical data

Among the physiologists of the last quarter of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th century N.A. Mislavsky undoubtedly belongs to the leading importance in the study of the mechanisms of respiratory regulation. Based on the results of careful physiological and morphological experiments in 1885 he made a number of conclusions, which were the basis of a certain direction in understanding and solving the whole problem of respiratory regulation in general.
He belongs to a specific definition of the concept of "respiratory center". He wrote: "The respiratory center must be that place of the nervous system, the destruction of which leads to an irreversible cessation of respiratory movements. He determined its location and boundaries in the medulla oblongata and provided the first evidence of the division of the respiratory center into aspiratory and expiratory parts.
