Question

What is the primary mechanism for control over breathing in order to protect blood from oxygenation? Which set of chemoreceptors are primarily involved?

Expert Solution
Step 1

BREATHING is the process in which the air moves into the lungs from outside the atmosphere.

a muscular structure called the diaphragm helps in this process.

when the volume inside the lungs increases the pressure decreases which leads to the air from the atmosphere to enter inside the lungs which causes inspiration and expiration is the process opposite to the inspiration.

contraction of the diaphragm leads to inspiration while relaxation leads to expiration  

---> Blood oxygenation can be defined as the measure of oxygen present in arterial or venous blood, while the measure of oxygen present in the vascular tissue or microvascular bed is referred to as tissue oxygenation.
