Question
Chapter 42, Problem 42.5CR
Summary Introduction
To explain: Why altitude does not affect an animal’s capacity to eliminate CO2 through gaseous exchange.
Concept introduction: The gaseous exchange in an animal is done on the basis of partial pressure, which is based on the particular gas exertion in a mixture of gas. The environment and the respiratory surface always strongly favor the release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The net diffusion of a gas occurs from its region of higher to lower partial pressure.

Why does altitude have almost no effect on an animal’s ability to rid itself of CO2 through gas exchange?
Which of the following statements regarding control of respiration
is TRUE?
At high altitude, a decrease in PC02 of the blood stimulates an
increase in ventilation.
An increase in the HCO3- concentration in blood stimulates
ventilation.
A slight decrease in arterial PO2 is a stronger stimulus for increased
ventilation than is a comparable decrease in arterial PCO2.
The most important signal for regulating ventilation is the H+
concentration of arterial blood.
Increased concentrations of lactic acid stimulate ventilation primarily
by acting on peripheral chemoreceptors.
What is the role of carbon dioxide in the control of rate and depth of mammalian breathing?

- What causes air to enter human lungs? The contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the lungs, decreasing the pressure relative to the air outside the body. Smooth muscle in the trachea guides the flow of air into the lungs. Air diffuses into the lungs due to the decreased O2 content relative to the air outside our body. The cilia in the trachea guide the flow of air into the lungs. The decreased concentration of O2 in the lungs decreases the density of that air and denser air outside the body "sinks" into the lungs.arrow_forwardIn control of ventilation, which of the following is the most important?
