In the body Central chemo receptors ______
a. are mostly in the aortic arch
b. Detect oxygen levels in the alveolar capillaries
c. are found in the carotid bodies

Anytime there is a sustained change in blood pressure (longer than 2-5 minutes) ______ is responsible for sensing this change and restoring normal blood pressure.
a. Carotid sinus baroreceptors
b. Both the aortic arch and carotid sinus baroreceptors
c. Renal baroreceptors
d. Aortic arch baroreceptors

a. vagus nerve and glossopharyngeal nerve
b. facial nerve and glossopharyngeal nerve
c. optic nerve and vagus nerve

- The nervous system is comprised of neurons and support cells A. True B. Falsearrow_forwardHigh Altitude Sickness The following story illustrates the development of a high altitude illness. You fly from Vancouver to Denver at 1,525 meters. That afternoon you rent a car and drive up to the trailhead at 2,438 m. You hike up to your first camp at 2,745 m. The next day you hike up to 3,048 m. You begin to have a severe headache and feel nauseous and weak. If your condition worsens, you may begin to have difficulty hiking. What causes altitude sickness? The concentration of oxygen at sea level is about 21% and the barometric pressure averages 760 mmHg. As altitude increases, the concentration remains the same but the number of oxygen molecules per breath is reduced. At 3,658 m the barometric pressure is only 483 mmHg, so there are roughly 40% fewer oxygen molecules per breath.
