What is the strongest stimulus to increase respiratory rate and depth is to increase the blood concentration of?
Carbon dioxide
How does carbon dioxide concentration help maintain homeostasis?
The brain monitors the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, and if there is too much the respiratory function is increased.
How can you prove in an experiment that carbon dioxide concentration and temperature are limiting factors?
To change (increase or decrease) carbon dioxide concentration and temperature (in different experiments, not simultaneously) and to measure the effect on growth.
How does minute volume increase with exercise?
The minute respiratory volume also increases from the normal to support high metabolic rate.this leads to more production of carbon dioxide and its concentration in blood will increase.increased breathing will speed the loss of carbon dioxide to maintain a normal Ph.
When you hold your breath for half a minute the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will?
If you hold your breath, the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will increase. Carbon dioxide is constantly produced by the body's metabolism, and constantly exhaled. So if it is not exhaled, it will start to build up.
What gas has increase in concentration in the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution?
Carbon dioxide
Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?
carbon dioxide increases
What are the Chemical receptors that regulates unconscious breathing?
The respiratory centers that control your rate of breathing are in the brainstem or medulla.Specialized nerve cells within the aorta and carotid arteries called peripheral chemoreceptors monitor the oxygen concentration of the blood and feed back on the respiratory centers.Peripheral chemoreceptors also monitor the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood. In addition, a central chemoreceptor in the medulla monitors the carbon dioxide concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord; carbon dioxide diffuses easily into the CSF from the blood. If the carbon dioxide concentration gets too high, then both types of chemoreceptors signal the respiratory centers to increase the rate and depth of breathingThe peripheral and central chemoreceptors are also sensitive to the pH of the blood and CSF.
What is the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide and global temperature?
Increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is considered a factor that increase the global warming.
The most powerful respiratory stimulus for breathing in a healthy person is?
increase of carbon dioxide in the tissues and the bloodstream
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
Where would carbon dioxide concentration be the highest?
The carbon dioxide concentration would be the highest where the oxygen is low.
