What does medullary breathing centers directly sense and responds to?
blood PH and Co2 concentration
Insulin causes a a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose b an increase in the concentration of blood glucose?
A. A decrease in glucose. Unless your body is as strange as mine. I'm trying to figure out why my glucose increases when I increase my insulin.
What is a chronic increase in the number of red blood cells and concentration of hemoglobin?
polycythemia
An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood should decrease the rate of breathing?
No: it would tend to call urgency into your body's systems to do all that can be done to decrease these toxic levels and increase the oxygen levels. This would considerably increase your breathing.
What is the term for decreased carbon dioxide in the blood?
The body will stop breathing, and falling oxygen levels will cause unconsciousness. The breathing reflex is driven by detected CO2 levels in the blood. If the level is too high, breathing rate will increase - as far as gasping for breath. If the CO2 level falls too low, the breathing reflex is satisfied and stops. This does not mean the person is unable to breathe, but they just feel no need to. This is a cause of drowning; people who hyperventilate to "flood the lungs with oxygen" are actually dropping their CO2 level, and can fall unconscious while underwater. By the time metabolism raises the CO2 level far enough to engage the breathing reflex, the person is deeply unconscious and cannot surface. In actuality, normal O2 levels in the blood are only a few percent under saturation, and extended heavy breathing does not increase this amount significantly. The lowered CO2 levels do make it more comfortable to hold the breath, at least initially.
What happens to the breathing rate if blood concentration of oxygen decreases?
Decreased breathing rate > more Co2 and less O2 in blood > more acidity > Lower PH level
What is the breathing rate determined by the level of something in the blood?
The breathing rate is determined by the level of the carbon bi oxide. The increase in the concentration, increase the breathing rate. The decrease in the oxygen concentration should do the same thing. But the oxygen is poorly soluble. So it can not affect the breathing centre like the carbon bi oxide. The carbon bi oxide is highly soluble and it also alters the pH of the blood.
What is hemo-concentration?
Hemoconcentration occurs when there is an increase in the concentration of blood cells as the result of the loss of plasma from the bloodstream. A decrease in volume of plasma and an increase in red blood circulating.
Why are you forced to resume breathing?
In the absence of oxygen, the build up of carbon dioxide causes and increase in the hydrogen ion concentration of the blood. It is this increase in hydrogen ions that triggers what is basically a pain response, forcing the urge to breath. It may be interesting to also note that some medications increase hydrogen ion concentration, and thereby tend to increase rates of respiration.
What happens to the blood concentration level of carbon dioxide following increased breathing?
With increased breathing, levels of carbon dioxide in the blood drop and levels of oxygen rise.
What does medullary breathing centers directly sense and responds to?
blood PH and Co2 concentration
What is the strongest stimulus to increase respiratory rate and depth is to increase the blood concentration of?
Carbon dioxide
What can you take to increase blood pressure?
One can drink coffee to increase blood pressure. Raid breathing can also increase blood pressure.
Which breathing pattern would result in the greatest increase in blood acidity?
dyspnea
Which receptor is likely to detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration in the blood?
The receptors that are likely to detect changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration in the blood are chemoreceptors located in the aorta and carotid arteries. These chemoreceptors detect changes in the pH of the blood and send signals to the brain to regulate breathing heart rate and other bodily functions. The receptors are sensitive to the following: Carbon dioxide concentration Oxygen concentration pH of the bloodThe chemoreceptors are located in the walls of the aorta and carotid arteries and are sensitive to the changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations. When the concentrations of these two gases change the chemoreceptors send signals to the brain which then responds with appropriate adjustments in breathing rate and heart rate.
Insulin causes a a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose b an increase in the concentration of blood glucose?
A. A decrease in glucose. Unless your body is as strange as mine. I'm trying to figure out why my glucose increases when I increase my insulin.
What hormone is released quickly to stimulate an increase in blood glucose concentration?
Epinephrine
