What has the greatest stimulating effect on the respiratory center in the brain a oxygen b carbon dioxide c calcium d will power?
carbon dioxide. when CO2 levels reach a certain saturation point the brain is stimulated to take a breath.Type your answer here...
Why is it important that your brain responds to of carbon dioxide in your blood?
Its important because your brain needs to be aware of these things.
What does carbon dioxide do to your brain?
Carbon dioxide is a simple asphyxiant, which means it affects your health only by displacing oxygen. The only way carbon dioxide can kill you is by decreasing the oxygen your body takes in. Our brains especially need a good flow of oxygen since it is the control center of our life. In other words, carbon dioxide doesn't hurt you, but the lack of oxygen does.
What does too much carbon dioxide do?
Prevents your brain from receiving enough oxygen causing you to pass out which can be fatal.
Is carbon dioxide bad for the human body?
It is not actually a poison. The body has no use for it. It displaces Oxygen, which is required. So you suffocate. More Co2, prevents waste CO2 from leaving the body. The excess can cause brain swelling.
What has the greatest stimulation on the respiratory center in the brain?
blood carbon dioxide levels
If a person had brain damage from carbon dioxide poison how long willit last?
uhm..... forever it's brain damage
What is the rate of respiration determined by levels in blood?
The rate of respiration is determined by the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The main controller of the rate of respiration is the brain.
Which event signals the brain to breathe?
Increased blood levels of carbon dioxide signal the brain to breathe.
The breathing center in the brain is most sensitive to the?
levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.
What in the brain monitors carbon dioxide levels?
It doesn't. We're not machines. We die if there's too much.
Does the breathing control center in the brain monitor the rising CO2 levels in the blood?
Quite so. The brain stem detects high levels of carbon dioxide and triggers breathing.
What has the greatest stimulating effect on the respiratory center in the brain a oxygen b carbon dioxide c calcium d will power?
carbon dioxide. when CO2 levels reach a certain saturation point the brain is stimulated to take a breath.Type your answer here...
What is called the flow air into the lungs and out the lungs?
Oxygen is breathed in and carbon dioxide is breathed out as it is deadly to humans. Too much carbon dioxide breathed in will cause brain damage and eventually death.
When there is an increase in carbon dioxide in the blood what occur?
There is a part of the brain called the medulla oblongata which detects increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood and triggers the breathing reflex. Breathing then allows the excess carbon dioxide to escape by way of the lungs, as oxygen is acquired.
The rate of respiration is determined by what levels in the blood?
The rate of respiration is determined by the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The main controller of the rate of respiration is the brain.
What blood level is most significant in regulating the respiratory center of mammals?
The levels of carbon dioxide in the body are monitored by chemoreceptors, (they do this by measuring pH - lower pH means more carbon dioxide). If the levels of carbon dioxide are too high then the respiratory centre of the brain (in the medulla oblongatis) sends signals to the lungs and diaphragm to increase the breathing rate.
