Electromyogram (EMG) activity of the posterior cricoarytenoid (
PCA
muscles were active, but was otherwise closed.
Larynx
closure may contribute to the end-inspiratory pauses often observed in the intact animal. During inhalation of an asphyxiant test gas in place of room air,
PCA
and diaphragm activity generally increased; and increases in anesthesia decreased the EMG activity of both muscles. Water on the larynx transiently abolished both
PCA
and diaphragm discharge; but EMG activity returned to the
PCA
muscles before the diaphragm. Further, reactivation of the diaphragm was not always accompanied by a synchronized burst of
PCA
activity. Therefore, it is possible under some conditions to dissociate the motor outputs from the
PCA
muscles and diaphragm in this immature mammal.
