blocking afferent action potentials from the chemorecep- tors in the carotid and aortic bodies would interfere with the brain's ability to regulate breathing in response to a. changes in ph b. changes in pco2 c. changes in blood pressure d. changes in po2

Respuesta :

It would be difficult for the brain to control breathing in response to -

(option c) change in blood pressure.

A chemoreceptor, sometimes referred to as a chemosensory receptor, is a specialized sensory organ that converts a chemical substance (either endogenous or produced) into a biological signal. If the chemoreceptor is a neuron, the signal may take the form of an action potential; otherwise, it may take the form of a neurotransmitter that can activate a nerve fibre. Examples of such specialised cells include taste receptors and internal peripheral chemoreceptors like the carotid bodies. An increase in the breathing amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, for example, is one alteration that a chemoreceptor can detect in physiology (hypercapnia).
