How does exercise affect pO2 in the muscle cell?

Arterial po2 will not change because it's almost at maximum already. Venous po2 will decrease due to increased oxygen consumption by respiring muscle. Venous and arterial pCo2 will actually either stay the same or fall due to the increased ventilation stimulated by the increased Co2 production by respiring muscles. The increased pCO2 is detected by central and peripheral chemoreceptors and leads to increased ventilation, resulting in increased ventilation - causing pCo2 to remain normal or decrease. This mechanism cannot be used to explain the ventilation increase in light exercise because pCo2 hardly rises at all during light exercise, therefore the chemoreceptors may not be responsible for the mechanism resulting in increased ventilation,


The strongest stimulatory effect on pulmonary ventilation is?

PCO2 of the blood. Co2 removal is the biggest reason for breathing.


What is the effects of an increase in PCO2?

Plasma pH will Decrease


A 10 percent increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood will?

Will decrease the blood pH causing increased ventilation.


Does breathing rate increase or decrease when arterial PCO2 increases?

increases


Rapid increase of organic acid in the body?

Rapid increase of organic acids in the body you would expect to observe the increase in your heart rate. You would also observe increased alveolar ventilation, decreased blood pH and increased in blood pressure.


The central chemoreceptors will increase their firing rate in direct response to increases in the level of in the CSF resulting in ventilation?

carbon dioxide; increased


What factors affect the release of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin?

-Decreased pH -Increased Temperature -Increased Pco2


In COPD the PaCO2 will increase but the ventilation will not increase why?

ecause of air trapping and ineffective alveolar ventilation


How does increased ventilation rate affect arterial blood?

It will induce a respiratory alkalosis, as carbon dioxide is washed out of the blood by the increased ventilation rate.


Is hypoxia a cardiac arrhthmia?

Hypoxia-->pCO2 increase-->chemoreceptors are stimulated-->VMC stimulated-->trachyarrythmia


Hypercapnia causes minute ventilation to?

increase as the minute ventilation is the amount of carbon dioxide
