gas regulation Flashcards
1
Q
what is the feedback loop in response to low oxygen levels?
A
stimulus = low oxygen levels receptor = peripheral chemoreceptors in the aorta and carotid artery modulator = respiratory center in the medulla oblongata effectors = respiratory muscles (diagram and intercostals) response = increased rate of contraction and relaxation of intercostals and diagram to increase breathing rate and blood oxygen levels feedback = increase in oxygen conc in blood plasma
2
Q
what is the feedback loop in response to high carbon dioxide levels?
A
stimulus = high carbon dioxide levels receptor = peripheral chemoreceptors in the aorta and carotid artery + central chemoreceptors in medulla oblongata modulator = respiratory center in the medulla oblongata effectors = respiratory muscles (diagram and intercostals) response = increased rate of contraction and relaxation of intercostals and diagram to increase breathing rate and blood oxygen levels feedback = decrease in CO2 conc in blood plasma

Q
what is the feedback loop in response to low pH levels?
A
stimulus = low ph levels receptor = peripheral chemoreceptors in the aortic bodies and carotid bodies modulator = respiratory center in the medulla oblongata effectors = respiratory muscles (diagram and intercostals) response = increased rate of contraction and relaxation of intercostals and diagram to increase breathing rate and blood oxygen levels feedback = increase in pH in blood plasma
