What is stimulated by the reduction in PO2 at altitude?
Peripheral Chemoreceptors
Why are taste and smell receptors classified as Chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.
Taste and smell receptors are classified as chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors are classified as sensory cells or organs that respond to chemical stimuli. The nose and tongue are both equipped with chemoreceptors.
What peripheral chemoreceptors involved in respiratory control are found in the aortic arch and the?
aorta
Explain the function of chemoreceptors in a regulating breathing?
The function of the chemoreceptors in regulating breathing is that they respond to low levels of oxyhemeglobin.
Which cells of the kidney are chemoreceptors that respond to changes in solute content of the filtrate?
macula densa cells
What has the author M de Burgh Daly written?
M. de Burgh Daly has written: 'Peripheral arterial chemoreceptors and respiratory-cardiovascular integration' -- subject(s): Arteries, Cardiopulmonary system, Cardiovascular system, Chemoreceptors, Physiology, Respiration
What senses are dependent on chemorecptors?
The two groups of chemoreceptors are the following:1- Central Chemorecepto- In the medulla oblongata, which measures PO2, PCO2 and the pH of CSF. (Cerebral spinal fluid)2- Peripheral Chemoreceptor - Contained in small nodules within the aorta and carotid bodies.
Does Olfaction result from the stimulation of chemoreceptors?
yes, they respond to chemicals trapped in the mucus of the nasal cavity
Why do peripheral chemoreceptors only detect a drop in PO2 below 60 mmHg?
Because they are less sensitive to small decreases in arterial Po2 level.
Do chemoreceptors respond to light energy?
some do, the protist Euglena has an eye-spot that allows it to swim toward light.
If a person's PCO2 remains chronically high as in emphysema the peripheral chemoreceptors become insensitive to hypercapnia and pulmonary ventiliation becomes stimulated by rather than by?
hypoxic drive
