Chapter 10, Problem 14TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Partial pressure refers to the amount of pressure that is exerted by a particular gas present in the mixture in case it occupies the same volume on its own. It is basically the hypothetical pressure of that particular gas. In lungs, the partial pressure of the O2 (oxygen) is about 100 mm Hg.

In order to stimulate hyperventilation the sympathetic nervous system tricks the carotid body by constricting the capillaries that serve glomus cells; reduced blood flow to the cell causes localised hypoxia triggering a compensatory hyperventilation response even before systemic hypoxia is apparent. b. In type 1 glomus cells of the carotid bodies, hypoxia, hypercapnia and acidosis trigger afferent signalling by inhibiting K+ channels, depolarising the cell membrane, and opening voltage-gated Ca2+ channels that trigger the release of neurotransmitters onto afferent glossopharyngeal nerve fibres. c. Chemoreceptor cells can be found in the carotid body. d. The glossopharyngeal nerve transmits afferent impulses from the carotid body to the ventral respiratory group of neurons.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are true? A.
