19
Q

what happens when CO2 crosses the bb?

A

it acidifies the cerebrospinal fluid.

20
Q

what contributes 85% of resting respiratory drive?

A

CO2 in central chemoreceptors

21
Q

does cerebrospinal fluid have more or less protein, and buffer capacity?

A

less

22
Q

what is the “stimulis”?

A

H+

23
Q

explain carotid body

A

cluster of chemoreceptors in the carotid artery found in the neck which brings blood to the brain. detects changes in composition of arterial blood

24
Q

explain aortic body

A

cluster of baroreceptos located along the aortic arch. measures mostly change in blood pressure and composition of arterial blood flow

25
Q

which is more important aortic body or carotid ?

A

carotid

26
Q

explain peripheral chemoreceptors

A

pulmonary CO2 receptors

27
Q

which is sensitive to O2, CO2, and pH?

A

carotid artery

28
Q

what provides all ventilatory drive in arterial hypoxemia?

A

carotid artery

29
Q

explain sudden infant death syndrome

A

babies who are born with poorly developed carotid bodies

30
Q

affarent means what?

A

nerve traffic travels to the brain or central nervous system

31
Q

glomous is a __________. it exchanges chemical info via transmitters to and from _________ to the _______. sensing ______,_____, and_______. modulating the signaling of what?

A

chemoreceptor. nephringeal nerve and the brain. CO2, O2, and H+. axons

32
Q

as you increase alveolar Pco2 what happens?

A

increase in ventilation

33
Q

what is the primary respiratory “signal” for water breathers (oxygen receptors)

A

oxygen

34
Q

explain Co2 levels in water and why?

A

less in water because it is more soluble in water

35
Q

what are proprioceptors

A

signal movement and positin of joints and muscles important in excercise. sends signals to CNS to increase ventilation before gas amounts change

36
Q

explain tracheol system in insects

A

the tracheoles go straight to the muscles, they increase with activity which allows for shorter diffusion distance

37
Q

how do insects with tracheol systems get oxygen?

A

spiracles

38
Q

if you wanted to open up the spiracles, what would you do to the insect

A

introduce co2

39
Q

what is an example of discontinous respiration and misnomer

A

spiracles

40
Q

what is the purpose of spircales?

A

to reduce the amount of water loss and dehydration

41
Q

in birds what is low compliant?

A

parabronchi

42
Q

in birds what is highly cimpliant?

A

AIR SACS

43
Q

what kind of valving to birds have?

A

aerodynamic

44
Q

what kind of exchange to birds have?

A

cross current and unidirectional

45
Q

during inspiration air flows where? (post and ant)

A

from the anterior to posterior back to anterior

46
Q

during expiration air flows where? (post and ant)

A

from the posterior, towards anterior.

47
Q

explain countercurrent

A

goes in opposite directions
