Apnea is traditionally classified as either obstructive, central, or mixed . Obstructive apnea may occur when the infant s neck is hyperflexed or conversely, hyperextended. It may also occur due to low pharyngeal muscle tone or to inflammation of the soft tissues, which can block the flow of air though the pharynx and vocal cords. Central apnea occurs when there is a lack of respiratory effort. This may result from central nervous system immaturity, or from the effects of medications or illness. Many episodes of apnea of prematurity may start as either obstructive or central, but then involve elements of both, becoming mixed in nature. ref name Martin cite journal author Martin R.J., et al. title Pathophysiologic Mechanisms Underlying Apnea of Prematurity journal NeoReviews year 2002 volume 3 issue 4 pages e59 e65 doi 10.1542 neo.3 4 e59 ref Incidence Apnea of prematurity occurs in at least 85 percent of infants who are born at less than 34 weeks of gestation.

refimprove date November 2009 The term physiological prematurity refers to the fact that compared to most animals, humans are born in a premature biological state. Although sensory organs and skeletal and muscular systems are largely developed prenatally, human babies at the time of their birth are completely helpless and dependent on intensive care. This is in contrast to the maturity at birth found in other higher mammals e.g. elephants, horses . According to the Swiss biologist Adolf Portmann , it is a characteristic feature of humans that due to their early birth, many developmental processes do not happen in isolation, but embedded in a sociocultural environment. Due to their complete dependence, humans are particularly amenable for social interactions and their environmental condition, which, according to Portmann, is a precondition for cultural and intellectual learning. de Category Physiology ... more details
