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.

Some patients with hypertension (high blood pressure) are given beta-blocking drugs to lower their blood pressure. How does this effect occur? Explain why these drugs are not administered to patientswith a history of asthma. Why might drinking coffee help asthma?
When a patient has a severe allergic reaction, a common prescribed drug is epinephrine. Which of the follow best explains the effects of epinephrine on a patient experiencing a severe allergic reaction?   A epinephrine binds to the beta-1 receptor.  Activating the beta-1 receptor causes vasodilation and bronchoconstriction. Bronchoconstriction allows the patient to breath by relaxing the smooth muscle that is constricting the airway.  B Epinephrine binds to the beta-2 receptor. Activating the beta-2 receptor causes vasodilation and bronchodilation. Bronchodilation allows the patient to breath easier by relaxing the smooth muscle that is constricting the airway. C Epinephrine binds to the alpha-1 receptor. Activating the alpha-1 receptor causes vasodilation and bronchodilation. Bronchodilation allows the patient to breath by relaxing the smooth muscle that is constricting the airway.  D Epinephrine binds to the beta-1 receptor. Activating the beta-1 receptor causes vasodilation and…
