One of the "inputs" to the Respiratory Control Center is represented by the peripheral Chemoreceptors..the Aortic and Carotid Chemoreceptors are examples and are well described and understood..if a person were to ascend to a very high altitude (like a mountain climber) where the partial pressure of Oxygen dropped to only 50. .what consequences might you predict with the persons' physiology? A. The mountain climber would sufferfrom hypercapnia (too much carbon dioxide) because ventilation would be diminished in the low-oxygen atmosphere. B. The mountain climber would sufferfrom acidosis because the high carbon dioxide concentration would cause an increase in plasma pH. C. The mountain climber would benefit from the low-oxygen-pressure..the hemoglobin- oxygen curve shows that hemoglobin possesses a very high affinity for oxygen at a low oxygen-partial-pressure. D. The mountain climber would be hyperventilating and possibly sufferfrom alkalosis (caused by the decrease in carbon dioxide-pressure).
