Chapter 53.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The significance of the location of chemoreceptors and baroreceptors.
Introduction: The receptors present in the body organs serve a specific function. A single type of receptor can serve different functions in different parts of the body. This is because of limited types of the receptors present in the body.

- Women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries wore whalebone corsets that severely restricted the respiratory and digestive systems. These corsets were worn to have a wasp-like waist. It was quite common for these women to faint—in fact, they had “fainting couches.” Explain the physiological reason for their fainting problems.arrow_forwardYou have both peripheral chemoreceptors (aortic arch and carotid bodies) and central chemoreceptors (medulla). You were informed earlier that the central chemoreceptors are the primary sensors for blood CO2. Both sets of chemoreceptors detect the concentration of H+ in blood or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Why do the central chemoreceptors detect blood PCO2 levels while the peripheral chemoreceptors are only sensitive to total blood H+ concentration?arrow_forwardAt point A, note that mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) is slightly lowered despite the large fall in cardiac output (CO). a.

What changes in stimuli for these receptors may be contributing to the response at point A? e. What efferent mechanisms mediate the increase in total peripheral resistance (TPR)?arrow_forward
