CO2 (high Concentraction) Flashcards
1
Q
Stimulus (High CO2 concentration)
A
High CO2 concentration/low O2 concentration
2
Q
Receptor (High CO2 concentration)
A
Central chemoreceptors in medulla oblongata and peripheral chemoreceptors in aortic and carotid bodies
3
Q
Modulator (High CO2 concentration)
A
Respiratory centre in medulla oblongata sends nerve impulse down phrenic and inter-costal nerve
4
Q
Effector (High CO2 concentration)
A
Diaphragm and inter-costal muscles
5
Q
Response (High CO2 concentration)
A
Increased rate of breathing=increased exchange diffusion of CO2 out and O2 in
6
Q
Feedback (High CO2 concentration)
A
Negative
