Center (Centre)

Center (in neurology) is a cluster of neurons (nerve cells) that control one or another function of the body. The respiratory and cardiovascular centers, for example, represent certain areas of gray matter located in the medulla oblongata, which regulate respiration and blood circulation, respectively.

BROCA'S CENTER - the core of the motor analyzer of speech articulation; located in the posterior sections of the inferior frontal gyrus near the sections of the motor area of ​​the cerebral cortex (precentral gyrus), which are analyzers of movements produced by contraction of the muscles of the head and neck. Broca's center analyzes the movements of all muscles involved in articulate speech (pronouncing words and sentences). In most right-handers (but not all), this area is located in the left frontal lobe of the brain, corresponding to Brodmann's cytoarchitectonic areas 44 and 45.

Broca's center is the nucleus of the motor speech articulation analyzer, which is located in the posterior part of the inferior frontal gyrus near the motor areas of the cerebral cortex. Broca's center controls the movements of the muscles of the face, neck and head necessary for articulate speaking.

One example of a center in neurology is the respiratory center, which controls breathing and is located in the medulla oblongata. The cardiovascular center also controls blood circulation and is located in the medulla oblongata.

Broca's area is an important area of ​​the brain that is responsible for pronouncing words and phrases. For most people who are right-handed, Broca's center is located on the left side of the brain. However, not all right-handers have Broca's center in this area.

The study of centers and their functions is an important task for neurology and medicine in general. This helps us understand how our brain works and what diseases may be associated with brain dysfunction.

In neurology, a center is a collection of nerve cells (neurons) that control one or another specific function of the body, as well as the ability to deliver information to a specific area of ​​an organ or an entire system.

The respiratory center is a certain area of ​​gray matter located in the medulla oblongata, which regulates the work associated with breathing.

The respiratory regulation center is an anatomical and physiological formation of the brain stem and spinal cord, coordinating and regulating the flow of inhalation-exhalation and ventilation of the lungs.
