In healthy individuals, the strongest stimulus to initiate breathing corresponds to:
Select one:
a. Increase of carbon dioxide concentration
b. Dissolved oxygen level
c. Acidosis
d. Acidosis
e. Loss of tissue oxygen
Homework Answers
Answer- a. Increase of carbon dioxide concentration
The strongest stimulus to initiate breathing is increase in carbon dioxide contration.
H+ ion is the most potent stimulus for central chemoreceptors. It is produced from CO2 by action of carbonic anhydrase.
CO2 is direct stimulus for peripheral chemoreceptors. Hence, both central and peripheral chemoreceptors together initiate strongest stimulus for breathing.

A. . Hyperpnea would result in ___________________________ within the blood. an increase in both Pressure (oxygen) and Pressure (carbon dioxide) 2. Decreased Pressure (carbon dioxide) results in an increase in blood pH levels. Both of these conditions result in a shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve to the ______________________. This shift _______________ hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen. select 3. Increased levels of 2,3 BPG occur in response to decreased blood pH levels. With all other variables unchanged, an increased concentration of...
