Q

Chemoreceptors process

A

1- increased concentration of carbon dioxide. PH is lowered
2-chemoreceptors detect and increase frequency of nervous impulse to medulla oblongata = increased heart rate
3- increase in impulses by sympathetic NS -> sinoatrial node

Q

Pacinian corpuscle

A

1-RESTING POTENTIAL - no sodium movement
2-PRESSURE APPLIED - changes shape. Membrane stretches
3-SODIUM CHANNEL WIDENED- sodium ion diffuses -> neurone
4-INFLUX OF SODIUM - changes potential -> depolarised = generator potential
5-ACTION POTENTIAL - sent to CNS
