Chapter 1, Problem 11RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The condition in which the respiratory sensors regulate breathing in accordance with the negative feedback mechanism.
Introduction:
In the negative feedback response, the output reverses the change in the stimulus. In the regulation of the respiratory rate, chemoreceptors send signals to control the breathing. The main goal of the chemical control of respiration is to maintain the proper balance of oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions concentration in the body.
