Respiratory effects [edit]. The PRG antagonizes the apneustic center, cyclically inhibiting inhalation. The PRG limits the burst of action potentials in the phrenic nerve, effectively decreasing the tidal volume and regulating the respiratory rate.espiratory effects [edit].

Because the ones at the bottom, the animals would have died first and soil would have covered them building a cliff and the fossils up top would have died later. 3 people found this useful.
This is true because younger layers of sediment (in which fossils lie) are deposited on top of older layers of sediment, so that rock layers get older as you go down.
