carbon dioxide Flashcards
1
Q
why does CO2 differ from set point?
A
exercise- need more energy- more respiration- more co2 released- turns to carbonic acid which lowers ph and enzymes cant function
2
Q
what is the receptor and corrective mechanism?
A
chemoreceptors in the medulla oblongata are receptors- the corrective mechanism is to send increased impulses to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles
3
Q
what is effector
A
intercostal muscles and diaphragm- breathe more vigorously and Co2 from carbonic acid breathed out- homeostasis maintained
