Introduction:
Barometric pressure is also known as the atmospheric pressure. The central and peripheral chemoreceptors regulate the ventilatory pattern. The moment an individual ascends to a higher altitude, a sequence of events take place to regulate the breathing pattern. Initially, the peripheral chemoreceptors are stimulated, then the central chemoreceptors are readjusted.
