Are nociceptors a type of chemoreceptor?
No, a chemoreceptor is a type of nociceptor.
What is hypoxic threshold?
When the aterial PO2 drops and becomes around 60 to 70 mm Hg, an increase in ventilation occurs. This is caused by a low PO2 in the blood and is detected by the carotid bodies (chemoreceptor), because the aortic and central chemoreceptors do not detect a change in arterial PO2
Pinocytosis would allow the intake of?
FLuids into a cell.
How would you design a cell membrane that would allow you to move more material through it faster without taking more space?
The answer is Microvilli!
How would removing the crystal violet from MacConkey agar alter the sensitivity and specificity of the medium?
It would allow growth of Gram-positive cocci.
Are nociceptors a type of chemoreceptor?
No, a chemoreceptor is a type of nociceptor.
What is a chemoreceptor?
sensing the oxygen
What means chemoreceptor?
Chemoreceptores can detect chemical stimuli.
What are the cells that detect smell called?
chemoreceptor.
What part of the brainstem that receives information from the chemoreceptor trigger zone?
Medulla Oblangota
What is chemoreceptor trigger zone?
The chemoreceptor trigger zone is a bilateral set of centers in the brainstem lying under the floor of the fourth ventricle.CTZ has connection with vomiting center and play indirectly to stimulate vomiting.. Electrical stimulation of these centers does not induce vomiting, but application of emetic drugs does - if and only if the vomition centers are intact. The chemoreceptor trigger zones function as emetic chemoreceptors for the vomition centers - chemical abnormalities in the body (e.g. emetic drugs, uremia, hypoxia and diabetic ketoacidosis) are sensed by these centers, which then send excitatory signs to the vomition centers. Many of the antiemetic drugs act at the level of the chemoreceptor trigger zone.
The vomiting reflex is mediated by the?
No. The vomiting reflow is mediated by the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the medulla of the brainstem, which communicates with the vomiting center (to mediate the vomiting reflex)
What is the name of the type of receptor that responds to changes in the concentration of chemicals?
The name of the type of receptor that responds to changes in the concentration of chemicals is a chemoreceptor. These receptors are found in various parts of the body, such as the nose and taste buds, and they help detect and transmit signals related to smell and taste.
What receptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration?
A chemoreceptor can detect changes in hydrogen ion concentration.
Vomiting reflex is mediated by the?
Chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the medulla of the brainstem, which communicates with the vomiting center (to mediate the vomiting reflex).
A stretch receptor is classified as a a chemoreceptor b mechanoreceptor c photoreceptor d thermoreceptor e all of these?
A stretch receptors is classified as a mechanoreceptor.
What condition would RIPv2 allow that RIPv1 would not allow?
A 192.168.0.0/16 network
