Question
Chapter 36, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The respiratory system is mostly influenced by the partial pressure of the oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as the pH of the blood. Chemoreceptors detect the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide and the H+ concentration in the blood.
