Question
Chapter 43, Problem 1S
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How does the body sense the change, when pH falls too low, how does the breathing rate change, and how does this increase pH.
Introduction:
The sensory receptors detect the external and internal stimuli, and in response to the stimuli send impulses to the brain. The sensory receptors, which are responsible for determining the pH of the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, are chemoreceptors.
