10 Questions
What is the main stimulus for alveolar ventilation during exercise?
PCO2
At what level does the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve significantly decrease ventilation?
PO2 below 60mmHg
What is the deficiency of oxygen at the tissue level known as?
Hypoxia
Which chemical input stimulates ventilation during exercise?
Lactic acid
What is the main type of hypoxia related to arterial %?
Anemic hypoxia
Peripheral chemoreceptors for respiration are located in the Carotid and Aortic Bodies
True
The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve significantly decreases ventilation when PO2 drops below 60mmHg
True
Central chemoreceptors are primarily sensitive to H+ concentration
True
Anemic hypoxia is caused by a deficiency of oxygen at the tissue level
True
Plasma K+ is one of the major chemical inputs that stimulate ventilation
True
