Q

An increase in arterial PCO2 results in…

A

diffusion of CO2 from the blood into the brain which lowers pH and stimulates the central chemoreceptor to send signals to the respiratory control center to increase breathing
Results in increased alveolar ventilation and the the elimination of CO2

Q

Peripheral Chemoreceptors:

A

Q

Carotid Body

A

Sensitive to changes in arterial PO2, PCO2, and pH; Increase in arterial PCO2 stimulates the carotid body to send signals to the respiratory control center to increase breathing

Q

Motor Cortex

A

Sends out impulses to activate skeletal muscles to contract and increase ventilation in proportion to the amount of exercise being performed; Neural impulses pass through the medulla and “spill over” causing a VE that reflects the number of muscle motor units being recruited
