whats hypoxia and what does it stimulate
its oxygen deficiency at tissue level caused by a low Po2 in atrial blood due to airway obstruction or fluid in the lungs. it stimulates the peripheral (carotid) chemoreceptors.

Flashcards
Hypercapnia
Hypercapnia
A slight increase in carbon dioxide (PCO2) in the blood, leading to an increase in hydrogen ion (H+) concentration.
Hypoxia
Hypoxia
Oxygen deficiency in tissues due to low oxygen (PO2) levels in the blood, often caused by lung issues.
Lung Receptors (Pulmonary Mechanoreceptors)
Lung Receptors (Pulmonary Mechanoreceptors)
Stretch receptors in the lungs that regulate breathing by sending signals to the brain to adjust breathing rate.
