Receptors that detect carbon dioxide levels in the blood are?
Chemoreceptors detect the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood.
How can you decrease carbon dioxide in the blood?
breathe!
What is A decrease in blood CO2 levels leads to?
Carbon dioxide plays a large role in oxygen transport from the blood to the cells of the brain and body. A reduction in carbon dioxide levels brings with it reduced oxygenation of tissue and vital organs . This can lead to many health problems.
What has the greatest stimulation on the respiratory center in the brain?
blood carbon dioxide levels
Levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood trigger the respiratory center?
Primarily it is the cabon dioxide levels that trigger respiratory drive, however in some disease states such as COPD increased oxygen levels can decrease respiratory drive.
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.
How is most of the carbon dioxide that enters the blood transported?
Depending on the levels of hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide is converted into bicarbonate in the blood
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.
Why might blood carbon dioxide levels be higher in an individual with pulmonary disease when compared to the carbon dioxide levels of a healthy person?
When you have pulmonary disease, you may fail to give out carbon dioxide. So the percentage of carbon dioxide increase in your blood. That is the indicator of the severity of the pulmonary disease.
Levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are tested by?
Oximetry.
What determines rate of respiration?
It is the carbon dioxide levels in the blood
What If carbon dioxide levels in the blood increase then pH .?
decreases
